Q

ARDS - how to improve oxygenation

A

by increaeing either FIO2 or positive end-expiratory prssure (PEEP
- if high levels of FIO2 (more than 60% are required to mainttain oxygenation, PEEP level should be increased to allow for reduction in the FIO2 as oxygenation improves (prolonged high FIO2 causes O2 toxicity)

124

productive cough for >3 months PER YEAR (not necessarily consecutive) for >2 years

129
Q

causes of poor ciliary motility

  1. smoking

2. kartegener syndrome

130
Q

emphysema types - associations and area

A
  1. centriacinar: associated with smoking –> upper lobes

2. Panacinar: associated with α1 - antitrypsin –> lower lobes

131
Q

emphysema - diffusion capacity of CO test (and mechanism)

A

decreased diffusing capacity for CO resulting from destruction of alveolar walls

132
Q

blue bloaters vs pink puffer

blue: chronic bronchitis
pink: emphysema

133
Q

Restricted lung disease - drug toxicity

A
  1. bleomycin 2. busulfan

3. amiodarone 4. methotrexate

134
Q

PEAK airway pressure

A

the maximum pressure measured as the TV is being delivered = the sum of the resistive pressure (flow x resistance) and the platue pressure
platue pressure: the P measured during an insiratory hold maneuver, when pulm airflow and thus resistive pressure are both 0 = elastic P + PEEP
PEEP is calculated with the end expir hold maneuver
