Final Review - Personalized Pt 2 Flashcards
Oxygen used by cells at rest…
250 ml/min
Why doesnt CO2 need as large a gradient as oxygen to diffuse?
CO2 diffuses 20 x faster than O2
Hypoxic Hypoxia
inadequate O2 uptake
COPD
Stagnant/Ischemic Hypoxia
inadequate blood flow
clot
Anemic Hypoxia
inadequate oxygen carrying capacity
inactivated hgb
Histotoxic Hypoxia
interference with mitochondrial respiration
cyanide poisoning
Methods of O2 Transport
97% carried by RBC’s
dissolved in plasma - low capacity
Amount of O2 that can be dissolved in blood
0.0003 ml/100ml plasma
Hemoglobin
oxygen carrier protein
4 subunits, 2 alpha, 2 beta
only Fe2+ can bind to O2
How much O2 can 1gm of Hgb carry?
1.31 ml
Oxyhemoglobin curve axis & rightward
x axis = PaO2
y axis = saturation
rightward shift –> release O2 more
saturation will be less for a given PO2
Causes of rightward shift
increased CO2
increased temp
increased H+
increased 2,3 DPG
Average CO2 production in resting adult
200 ml/min
Mechanisms of CO2 transport
3% dissolved in blood
90% bicarb, HCO3 and carbonic acid
7% bound to hgb
** all reversible at lungs
What causes increased minute ventilation
hypercapnia and acidosis
Which materials act directly on the respiratory centers to increase strength inspiratory and expiratory motor signals?
carbon dioxide
hydrogen ions
**oxygen acts peripherally at carotid and aortic bodies
DRG
controls respiration at rest and provides basic rhythm
-vagal and glossopharyngeal sensory info to DRG
VRG
inactive during normal respiration
contributes to drive to increase respiration
stimulates abdominal muscles
Pneumotaxic Center
control switch off point
primarily limits inspiratory phase
also increases rate
Apneustic
works with pneumotaxic to control intensity of respiration
Hering-Breuer Reflex
protective feedback mechanism that limits overinflation
- stretch receptors send signals via vagus nerve to DRG when TV >1.5 L
- also increases rate
Chemo-Sensitive Area
on ventral medulla, responsive to CO2 and H+
Which ions can cross blood brain barrier?
CO2, not H+
CO2 stimulates H+ ions in CSF to stimulate resp center
Mountain climbing
adjusts in 2-3 days, loss of sensitivity to CO2, or H=, oxygen runs resp center
Alveolar ventilation curves
curves are displaced to the right at higher pH and left with lower pH
What controls voluntary respiration
cortex and higher centers
Is the potential for Cheyne-Stokes breathing present in everyone?
yes
- low CO
- brain damage
High risk PFT results
FEV1 <2L
FEV1/FVC < 0.5
VC <15 cc/kg in adult, <10 cc/kg in child
VC <40 - 50% predicted
To decrease air trapping…
change I:E ratio.
Histamine releasing drugs
pentothal (STP) Morphine atracurium mivacurium neostigmine abx
Extubation criteria
resp rate <30
ABG on FiO2 of 40% –> PaO2 >70, PaCO2 <55
NIF more negative than -20 cm H2O
VC >15 cc/kg
Extubation and FEV
FEV >50% –> not affected
FEV 25-50% –> some hypoxemia and hypercarbia, prolonged intubation probable
FEV <25% –> may not be able to wean
Intubation criteria
RR >35, VC <15 cc/kg
oxygenation PaO2 <70 on FiO2 of 40%
PaCO2 >55
-airway burn, chemical burn, epiglotitis, etc
