CVR resp failure Flashcards
systems/structures that fail in respiratory failure (3)
- nervous system
- respiratory muscle
- pulmonary
what is respiratory failure?
syndrome of inadequate gas exchange due to dysfunction of one/more components of the respiratory system
where can lesions occur in the nervous system to cause resp failure? (3)
- CNS/brainstem
- PNS
- neuro-muscular junction
issues with which resp muscles could lead to resp failure? (2)
- diaphragm/thoracic muscle
2. extra-thoracic muscle
pulmonary issues that could lead to resp failure? (3)
- airway disease
- alveolar-capillary
- circulation
what ranking are respiratory diseases for causing mortality?
3rd worldwide
cause of higher incidence of resp-related mortality in russia?
solid fuels in the home
what’s the biggest risk factor for males getting chronic resp disease?
smoking
what’s the biggest risk factor for females getting chronic resp disease?
household air pollution from solid fuels
what is an acute respiratory disease?
acute respiratory distress syndrome
what is seen on imaging in acute respiratory distress syndrome?
bilateral opacities
-> not fully explained by effusions, lobar, nodules
What is the criteria in regards to the origin of oedema in acute respiratory distress syndrome?
- Can not be explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload
- Needs objective assessment e.g. echocardiography to exclude hydrostatic oedema if no risk factor present
What is the boundary for mild oxygenation in ARDS?
P/F ratio 200-300 mmhg
What is the boundry for moderate oxygenation in ARDS?
P/F RATIO 100-200 mmHg
What is the boundary for severe oxygenation in ARDS?
100mmHg>= PaO2/FIO2
what does severity of ARDS and increased age lead to?
increased mortality
classification of ARDS (3)
- acute
- chronic
- acute on chronic
causes of acute ARDS (3)
- pulmonary (infection, aspiration, primary graft dysfunction (Lung Tx)
- extra-pulmonary: trauma, pancreatitis, sepsis
- neuro-muscular: myasthenia/GBS
causes of chronic ARDS (2)
- pulmonary/airways: COPD, lung fibrosis, CF, lobectomy
2. musculoskeletal: muscular dystrophy
causes of acute on chronic ARDS (3)
- infection exacerbation: COPD, CF
- myasthenic crises
- post operative
classification groups for ARDS using physiological classification
- type I (hypoxemic)
- type II (hypercapnic)
- type III (perioperative resp failure)
- type IV (shock)
Features of type I ARDS (using physiologic classification) (3)
Failure of oxygen exchange
- increased shunt fraction
- due to alveolar flooding
- refractory hypoxemia to supplemental oxygen
Features of type II ARDS (using physiologic classification)
Failure to exchange or remove CO2
- decreased alveolar minute ventilation
- dead space ventilation
reasons for type I ARDS (using physiologic classification) (6)
- collapse
- aspiration
- pulmonary oedema
- fibrosis
- pulmonary embolism
- pulmonary hypertension
