asthma is an ….. condition
obstructive
obstructive
includes conditions which make it hard to exhale all air in the lungs –> narrowing of airways –> comes out more slowly–> but should fully empty
examples of obstructive
COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, CF
restrictive
difficulty fully expanding their lung with air. e.g. stiffness of the lungs- fibrosis
normal breathing rate
12-20 breaths a min
normal % oxygenation of Hb
between 95-100
+ve pressure breathing
respiratory therapy treatment for people who are hypoventilating. While not a preferred method due to cost, IPPB is used to expand the lungs, deliver aerosol medications, and in some circumstances ventilate the patient.
insulin comes from
beta langerhans - binds to tyrosine kinase receptor
B1 adrenergic receptor is a
GPCR
what type of drug is Bisoprolol
B blocker
B blocker
1) reduces HR 2) decreases contractility 3) reduced renin release
stimulation of B receptors
increase in cAMP, increase in HR, increase in contractility
ACE inhibitors
lower BP
Example of an ACE inhibitor
ramipril
angiotensin receptor blocker
Iosartan
