Final Flashcards
weeks 1-15
Ventilation
Movement of air through the pulmonary airways
Perfusion
movement of blood through the pulmonary circulation
Diffusion
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Oxygenation
providing cells with oxygen
Ventilation+ perfusion+ diffusion= ?
Oxygenation
Perfusion without ventilation
blood goes to parts of the lung that DO NOT have oxygen to give
ex. pneumonia
ventilation without perfusion
Blood does NOT go to parts of the lung that have oxygen to give
ex. pulmonary embolism
Atelectasis
Alveoli collapse
Hypercapnia means
high carbon dioxide level in the blood
The lungs help regulate…..
carbon dioxide which is an acid
The kidney help regulate….
Bicarbonate which is a base
Low pH = what concentration of hydrogen ions & High pH= ?
high concentration= low pH
Low concentration high pH
Acidic lungs
increase ventilation, elimate CO2, and raise pH
Alkalotic lung
decrease ventilation, retain CO2, and lower pH
Alkalotic kidney
increase excretion, lower pH
Acidic kidney
increase reabsorption, raise pH
pH: 7.20
CO2: 38
HCO3: 3.17
uncompensated metabolic acidosis
pH: 7.5
CO2: 47
HCO3: 27
partially compensated metabolic alkalosis
pH: 7.42
CO2: 32
HCO3: 18
Fully compensated resp. alkalosis
what lung disease increases in resistance to airflow from the trachea and larger bronchi to the terminal and respiratory bronchioles
obstructive lung disease
COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma are what lung disease
obstructive
What lung disease is characterized by reduced expansion and stiff lungs
restrictive lung disease
pneumonia, pulmonary edema, atelectasis are what type of lung disease
restrictive
______ is difficulty getting air out and ______ is difficulty getting air in
obstructive, restrictive
COPD pts drive to breathe
hypoxia instead of carbon dioxide
Hypoxia
low O2 in the tissues
- persistant airway inflammation bronchial hyperreactivty causing obstruction
- often hereditary
Asthma
cause of COPD
chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both
Severe COPD leads to chronic…..
hypercapnia> stimulus to breathe is now hypxoia
Blue bloater is characterized with what disease
chronic bronchitis
- cyanosis, clubbing, hypoxia
pink puffer is characterized with what disease
emphysema
- barrel chest, chronic hypercapnia, excess air in lungs
Air in pleural space
- caused by trauma or infection
treatment: chest tube, needle decompression
Pneumothorax
Excess fluid within pleural space
- HF, renal failure, liver failure, infections
- treatment thoracentesis
Pleural Effusion
Roles of kidney
- metabolism
- waste elimination
- control Blood pressure
- regulate RBCs
- vit D synthesis
- manage electrolytes
Diagnostics for kidney dysfunction
- urinalysis
- BUN
- Serum Creatine> gold standard
- imaging studies
Treatments for kidney disease
- medications (bicarb, beta blockers, epogen, diuretics)
- dialysis (HD, PD, CRRT)
AKI four phases
- initial> injury to manifestation
- oliguria> retention of fluid
- diuresis> increased urine output
- recovery> final repair of damage
AKI: pre/ intra/post
pre: decreased perfusion> CHF, Shock, blood loss
intra: injury in the kidney itself
post: obstruction> stone, tumor
GFR (test used with kidneys)
how much blood is filtering through kidneys per minute
Clinical presentation of AKI
- anemia
- hypokalemia> bone breakdown & fracture
- kidney can’t activate vit D
- encephalopathy> confusion
- thrombocytopenia> bleeding/ bruising
UTI 3 primary symptoms
- urgency
- frequency
- burning sensation
untreated UTI can lead to….
Urosepsis
Risk factors for developing UTI
- female> urethra closer to anus
- incontinence
- dehydration
- obesity
- being older
Risk factor for kidney stones
(nephrolithiasis)
- depends on what stone is made out of
- dehydration
- gout
- diet(high sodium)
- hyperkalemia
