Edema Flashcards
Which of the following is NOT a major pathologic or structural change of the lungs associated with cardiogenic pulmonary edema ?
1
Pulmonary edema
1
Direction of fluid movement in the lungs when pulmonary edema occurs
1
What happens to the interstitial spaces and alveolar walls during pulmonary edema?
1
What happens to the surface tension in the alveoli?
1
Summarize the major pathologic and structural changes associated with pulmonary edema.
1
Pulmonary edema hydrostatic pressure
ordinarily, hydrostatic pressure is about _________________ and tends to move fluid out of the pulmonary capillaries into the interstitial space. This force is normally offset by colloid osmotic forces.
1
to pulmonary edema-colloid osmotic pressure
The other name for colloid osmotic pressure is ?
1
Which of the following is the most unlikely cause of cardiogenic pulmonary edema?
1
What is the normal range of hydrostatic pressure that moves fluid out of the pulmonary capillaries and into the interstitial space?
1
What is the normal range of colloid osmotic pressure (that opposes hydrostatic pressure )which tends to keep fluid in the pulmonary capillaries?
1
What is the other name for colloid osmotic pressure?
1
- When a imbalance occurs between hydrostatic pressure and oncotic, pressure pulmonary edema will result.
1
describe the imbalance between these forces that results in pulmonary edema.For example, what is the most likely imbalance? Is it a decrease in oncotic pressure?
1
major causes of cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
1
. pulmonary edema-breathing patterns (1.0 point)
Which of the following abnormal ventilatory patterns and findings are associated with cardiogenic pulmonary edema?
1
- List the path of physiologic mechanisms which cause an increased respiratory rate for patients with pulmonary edema.
1
definition of Cheyne-Stokes ventilation and be able to recognize the pattern. Make the connection between Cheyne-Stokes respiration and left-sided heart failure which is a common cause of pulmonary edema
1
pulmonary edema lung volumes and capacities (1.0 point)
Which of the following statements are correct regarding lung volume and capacity changes resulting from cardiogenic pulmonary edema?
1
- As pulmonary edema progresses what happens to the TLC, in VC, and FRC?
1
- As pulmonary edema progresses what happens to the tidal volume Vt?
1
As pulmonary edema progresses what happens to the diffusion capacity?
1
- Is cardiogenic pulmonary edema classified as they obstructive or a restricted disease?
1
pulmonary edema and ABGs (1.0 point)
Which of the following ABGs indicate that the patient has a more severe case of pulmonary edema?
1
Describe the blood gases of a patient with mild to moderate pulmonary edema
1
Describe the blood gases of a patient in severe pulmonary edema.
