OB Flashcards
Respiratory Changes:
would you anticipate the PaO2 to be higher in the pregnant or non pregnant state
Pregnant
Respiratory Changes:
Would you anticipate the PaCO2 to be higher in the pregnant or non-pregnant state
Non-Pregnant
Respiratory Changes:
the increase in O2 consumption produces a 70% increase in _____ _____ at term
Alveolar ventilation
Respiratory Changes:
the increase in O2 consumption produces a 70% increase in alveolar ventilation at term. the ____ will increase by 40%
tidal volume
Respiratory Changes:
the increase in O2 consumption produces a 70% increase in alveolar ventilation at term. the Tidal volume will increase by 40% and the _____ increases by 15%
respiratory rate
Respiratory Changes:
the increase in O2 consumption produces a 70% increase in alveolar ventilation at term. the Tidal volume will increase by 40% and the respiratory rate increases by 15% relenting the increase in what?
alveolar ventilation
Respiratory Changes:
the increase in alveolar ventilation and decrease in FRC enhance maternal uptake of what?
inhaled anesthestics
Respiratory Changes:
increased AV + decreased FRC = what w/ MAC
Decreased MAC
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
Inspriatory reserve volume (IRV)
increase ( 5%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
TV
increase (45%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
decrease (25%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
Residual volume (RV)
decrease (15%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
Inspiratory capacity (IC)
increase (15%)
IC = IRV + TV
if IRV and TV increase obviously IC must increase
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
FRC
decrease (20%)
FRC = ERV + RV
If ERV an dRV both decrease then obviously FRC must also decrease
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
Vital Capacity (VC)
no change
VC= IRV + ERV + TV
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
TLC
decrease (5%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
Closing volume and Capacity
no change
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
Deadspace
increase (45%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
respiratory rate
NC to INcrease (15%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
Minute ventilation
increase (45%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
alveolar ventilation
increase (45%)
Changes in lung parameters: increase/ decrease/ NC:
oxygen consumption
Increase (20%)
Respiratory changes: Anesthestic significance
why is airway management more challenging? (3 things)
- weight and breast engorgement hinder laryngosocpy
- Swollen mucose bleeds easily: avoid intranasal manipulation
- use smaller ETT (swollen airway)
Respiratory changes: Anesthestic significance
what is their response to anesthestics?(4 things)
- MAC decreased
- Decreased FRC results in faster indution
- Increased MV = faster induction
- Rapid overdose with loss of airway reflexes
Respiratory changes: Anesthestic significance
3 reasons the prego is at greater risk for hypoxemia
- Decreased FRC ( less O2 reserve)
- Increased O2 consumption
- Rapid airway obstruction
Respiratory changes: Anesthestic significance
excessive mechanical hyperventilation (ET CO2 < 24 mmHg) may do what to things
decrease maternal CO
decrease uterine blood flow
Respiratory changes: Anesthestic significance
Maternal and fetal hypoxemia are associated with pain-induced hyper-hypoventilation and can be avoided how?
with analgesics
