Q

What are the 6 effects of anesthesia on respiratory function?

A
  1. Altered breathing pattern
  2. Decreased respiratory drive
  3. Decreased FRC
  4. Decreased lung compliance and increased resistance
  5. Increased V/Q matching
  6. Depressed of abolished cough reflex, decrease mucocilary escalator

Q

Describe the breathing pattern change w/ anesthesia (light, deepening, deep and very deep anesthesia).

A

Light = respiration may be irregular
Deepening = regular, more than normal VT, prolonged forceful expiration
Deep = rapid, shallow breathing (panting)
Very deep = jerky, gasping, irregular

Q

What causes decreased respiratory drive w/ anesthesia? (2)

Q

What are the causes of decreased FRC w/ anesthesia? (5)

A
  1. Supine position during Sx = diaphragm displaced up into the chest wall by the abdo viscera
  2. Reduced rib cage ms tone = no expansion of rib cage
  3. Increased abdo ms tone = contributes to lengthening of diaphragm
  4. Additional loss of ms tone w/ ms paralysis
  5. Manipulation of the lung/diaphragm

Q

Why decreased lung compliance is related to reduced lung volume w/ anesthesia?

A

If FRC decreases, airways become more narrow which increased airway resistance

Q

Why mucociliary action is reduced w/ anesthesia?

Q

Why V/Q mismatching is increased w/ anesthesia? (3)

A
  1. Change in shape and motion of the chest wall = decreased thoracic excursion/maintained abdominal motion
  2. Inhaled anesthetics –> inhibition of hypoxic pulmonary vascoconstriction
  3. Non dependent regions (upper lung) better ventilated w/ mechanical ventilator

Q

Diaphragm dysfunction is possible to occur during abdo/thoracic Sx:

  • What is the consequence of this?
  • What causes this?
  • Is it reversible?
A
  • Decrease FRC and ventilation in dependent (lower) lung zones
  • Splanchnic/abdo receptor stimulation during Sx = inhibition of central drive/decrease phrenic motor input OR phrenic nerve irritation during Sx
  • Yes, goes back to normal 1 week post-op
