Q

Define closing volume.

A

The volume at which small airways close or collapse. Ideally small airways stay open throughout an expiration, but in disease states, they close at high tidal volumes prior to the end of expiration. Obesity and COPD tend to have high CVs and therefore airway collapse early in expiration. Low closing volumes are desirable because it means less volume is required to keep them open and patent.

Q

What is the dip and plateau?

A

This is seen in constrictive pericarditis and indicates the equalization of R and L side filling pressures ie diastolic pressure. The waveforms will have drastically different SBP but DBP are essentially same d/c inability to fill appropriately.

Low VQ bc perfused but poorly ventilated

Low PO2, High PCO2

*if no ventilation, blood and alveoli begin to equilibriate*

135
Q

O2 and CO2 levels of normal venous blood

A

PO2 40 mm Hg

PCO2 45 mm Hg

136
Q

Formula for alveolar ventilation

A

VA = RR x (VT - VD)

VT=tidal volume

VD=dead space (typically 150 mL)

137
Q

What is the Bohr Equation?

A

Dead Space/Tidal volume

(PaCO2-ETCO2)/PaCO2

* in an anesthetized patient it is rare for dead space to change-increase in PaCO2-PETCO2 gradient is d/t increased alveolar dead space*

138
Q

What is the most common cause of acutely increased physiologic dead space?

A

Abrupt d/c in CO

139
Q

What are some factors that increase alveolare deadspace?

A

COPD

ARDS

PPV

140
Q

Right mainstem intubation would cause what kind of VQ mismatch?

A

Right to left shunt

141
Q

What is the most common cause of hypoxemia under anesthesia?

A

Shunt

142
Q

T/F Hypoxemia from a relative shunt does not improve with O2

A

False. Hypoxemia from an absolute shunt does not improve with O2, but a relative does.

143
Q

Where are alveoli more compliant in a normal upright lung, apex or base?

A

Base

144
Q

Which lung receives more ventilation?

A

Right

145
Q

Pleural pressure d/c about 1 cm H20 per ___cm decrease in lung height

A

3 cm

So lower lung areas have more NEGATIVE pleural pressures and thus allow for better ventilation towards the bases

146
Q

What is the respiratory quotient?

A

Ratio of CO2 produced to quantity of O2 consumed

RQ= mL CO2 produced/O2 consumed

Normal 0.8

147
Q

What is the main cause of shunting in GA?

A

Atelectasis; 10% shunt

148
Q

GA and NMBA effects on chest wall compliance, respiratory system compliance, and FRC?

A

Increased chest wall compliance

Decrease FRC

Decrease in respiratory system compliance

151
Q

Which muscle is shown?

A

Oblique arytenoids

Q

Which muscle is shown?

A

Which muscle is shown?
