Q

expiration muscles during exercise?

A

19
Q

Draw out lung volumes

A

p 546

20
Q

Calculation for anatomic dead space?

A

Vd = (PaCO2-PEco2)/PaCO2

21
Q

Largest contributor of dead space?

A

Apex of healthy lung

22
Q

When is inward pull pf lung balanced by outward pull of chest wall?

A

FRC (after a normal exhale)

23
Q

Hb - 2 forms?

A

Taut - low O2 affinity in tissues

Relaxed - high O2 affinity in lung

24
Q

Why does fetal Hb have higher O2 affinity?

A

Lower affinity for 2,3 BPG - prevents curve shift to the right

25
Q

Increased O2 unloading by? (mechs)

A

Increases in:
Acid (binds to Heme and stabilizes unbound form)
2,3-BPG (Increased glycolysis in tissues makes more of this)
CO2
Temperature
increased Cl ions

26
Q

Carboxyhemoglobin?

A

Hb with CO bound. Shifts dissociated curve to the left

27
Q

low PAo2 in lungs vs other tissues?

A

vasoconstriction in lungs (shuts blood to better ventilated areas) vs vasodilation in tissues

28
Q

pt with healthy lungs: perfusion limited or diffusion limited circulation?

A

perfusion limited (gas always equilibriates by the time blood gets to end of pulmonary capillary)

29
Q

Diffusion formula?

What is affected in amphysema? in Pulmonary fibrosis?

A

Area/thickness * difference in partial pressures

decreased Area in emphysema. Increased thickness in fibrosis

30
Q

Pulmonary vascular resistance?

A

[P(pulmonary artery) - P (pulmonary vein)] / cardiac output

31
Q

O2 content equation?

A

(O2 binding capcity*saturation) + dissolved O2

32
Q

1 g Hb can hold how much O2?

How many grams of O2 normally in blood?

A

1.33 grams O2. 15 g/dl present normally.

33
Q

O2 binding capacity per dL blood?

A

20.1 ml O2/dL

34
Q

Decreased Hb. Affect on O2 saturation and PO2?

A

No effect

35
Q

Oxygen delivery to tissues equation?

A

Cardiac output* O2 content

36
Q

Alveolar gass equation?

A

PAo2 = PIo2 - Paco2/R

PAo2 = 150 - Paco2/.08

37
Q

Hypoxemia with Increased Aa gradient?

Normal Aa gradient?

A

hypoxemia, shunting, V/Q mismatch, diffusion

hypoventilation, high altitude

38
Q

Hypoxemia vs hypoxia?

A

down Pao2 vs down O2 delivery

39
Q

Causes of hypoxia?

A

decreased O2 delivery to tissue.

Due to low Cardiac Output, Hypoxemia, anemia, CO poisoning

40
Q

V/Q at apex of lung? Base?

changes in exercise?

A

3 vs .06

exercise - vasodilation - V/Q=1 at apex

41
Q

How is CO2 taken to lungs?

A

1) Bicarb (90%)
2) HbCO2 (carbaminoHb)
3) Dissolved

42
Q

Acute adjustment to high altitude?

A

increase ventilation

43
Q

Chronic adjustment to high altitude?

A

EPO, 2,3-BPG, increased mito, increased renal excretion of bicarbonate
