What is Cheyne stokes breathing?
Shallow –>Deep–> Shallow–> Apnea
What is Biots breathing normally associated?
Ataxic respiration bc usually bc of neuron damage.
Periodic breathing (apneic periods)
rate is usually hyperpnea or normopnea (rate normal looking) BUT PERIODIC (gaps)
What is Kussmaul breathing usually associated with?
Metabolic acidosis (diabetes mellitus)
-rate is hyperpnoea
What is cheyne-stokes breathing associated with?
Periodic breathing that is deep + shallow. (gradual in that breath rates ascend and descend)
associated with hypoperfusion of brain or sleep/hypoxic medication
What position is lateral recumbent

11
What is the MAP of a patient with a BP of 130/90?
103
High levels of WHAT PROTEIN is indicative of cardiac death?
myoglobin
What are causes of hyperkalemia?
Kidney disease
Hypoxia
metabolic acidosis
Identify the rhythm
Junctional Tachycardia
True or False:
In anemic individuals, you will see high hematocrit values and an overall decrease in total blood volume
False
Anemic = too few RBC so hematocrit values should be low.
What happens to your metabolic rate during hypothermia?
Metabolic rate decreases, as does CO2 and O2
Pleuritic chest pain is a characteristic of
Pneumothorax and pleural effusion
Recall that Pleuritic = central pain
What signs can you see in CxR for patients with CHF?
Enlarged heart, enlarged hila, kerley B lines
GCS: Pt had suspected seizure, she is making noises and opens eyes to voice. She flinches to sternal rub.
10
What is the effect on O2 carrying capacity for people with polycythemia?
Increased O2 capacity with thick blood
You have a pyrexic patient who’s temperature raised from 39C to 41C. What response in CO2 would you expect?
20% increase in CO2 production.
Pyrexia = raised temperature
Space you’d give a “NOD”
Social space
combined respiratory and metabolic alkalosis with mild hypoxemia
Order tissue densities from darkest to lightest
Gas, Fat, Soft tissues, bones
What rate does the AV node beat at?
40-60bpm
For every 10mmHg increase in PaCO2, the HCO3- increases by how many mmol/L?
1
For ventricular tachycardia, what will the P waves look like?
There are no P waves.
What is neutrophilia?
