Midterm Study Tips Flashcards
O2 Transport Chain
Inspired O2 and quality of ambient air airways lungs and chest wall diffusion perfusion myocardial function peripheral circulation tissue extraction and use of O2 return of desat blood and CO2 to the lungs
O2 Transport: Airways
become smaller and branch out
lined with smooth mm, cilia, mucus
O2 transport: lungs and chest wall
contraction of diaphragm creates (-) intrapleural pressure to inflate the lungs and bring air in
need good compliance
O2 transport: diffusion
O2 from alveoli -> pulm capillaries
O2 transport: perfusion
gravity dependent
V/Q ratio ideally is 0.8
O2 transport: myocardial function
need a coordinated conduction system, strong forceful contraction
O2 transport: peripheral circulation
neural stimulation of arteriole smooth mms contract or relax and let more/less blood through
O2 transport: tissue extraction and use of O2
rate of O2 extraction by cells depends on the O2 demand of those cells
O2 transport: return
CO2 eliminated by diffusion into alveoli
Practice Pattern A
Primary Prevention/Risk Reduction for Cardio/Pulm Disorders
Practice Pattern B
Impaired aerobic capacity/endurance associated with deconditioning
Practice Pattern C
Impaired ventilation, resp/gas exchange, and aerobic capacity/endurance associated with Airway Clearance Dysfunction
Practice Pattern D
Impaired ventilation, resp/gas exchange, and aerobic capacity/endurance associated with Cardiovascular pump dysfunction or failure
Practice Pattern E
Impaired ventilation, resp/gas exchange, and aerobic capacity/endurance associated with Ventilatory pump dysfunction or failure
Practice Pattern F
Impaired ventilation, resp/gas exchange, and aerobic capacity/endurance associated with Respiratory Failure
Practice Pattern G
Impaired ventilation, resp/gas exchange, and aerobic capacity/endurance associated with Respiratory failure in the neonate
Practice Pattern H
Impaired circulation and anthropometric dimensions associated with lymphatic system disorders
preload
amount of blood that fills ventricles in diastole
decreased = decreased CO
afterload
amount of BP (resistance) heart has to push against to eject blood out
(Increased = decreased CO)
Signs and Sx of Unstable patient
hypotension acute altered mental status signs of shock ischemic chest discomfort acute heart failure
4 pieces to the complicated patient
dysrythmia
heart failure
thrombosis
damage to heart structure
3rd spacing
the space where fluids build up in the interstitum of the lungs
hydrostatic pressure (water)
higher in capillaries and tends to PUSH fluid OUT into the interstitum
oncotic pressure
high in the capillaries and PULLS fluid IN to the capillaries
oncotic > hydrostatic - net flow of fluid IN
if hydrostatic is high enough (CHF) it will push fluid out
Shunt
alveolus not ventilated but normal flow through the capillary
dead space
alveolus is normally ventilated but no blood flow through the capillary
silent
alveolus is unventilated and capillary no perfusion
conducting divisions
1-16 of bronch*
respiratory divisions
> 16
more SA however narrower lumen therefore easier to clog
Risk Factors for Atelectasis
smoking hx DOE, PND, CHF, orthopnea, dependent edema, angina PaO2 60mmHg, PaCO2 > 50 mmHg bed rest for 36+ hours FIM <3-4 abdominal and or cardio thoracic surgery/traume impaired cognitive status low tidal volumes/breaths retained secretions
Risk Factors for pneumonia
smoking, alcoholism, obesity underlying disease trauma prior viral illness altered consciousness immunosuppression surgery invasive procedures (mech vent) Meds -
compliance
ease of which lungs are inflated during inspiration
Decreased compliance due to…
lung fibrosis, alveolar edema, dec surfactant, rib injury, intercostal mm tightness/fibrosis
