Q

What does a higher transpulmonary pressure in the upper part of the lungs mean for inspiration?

A

the alveoli in the upper lungs are near maximally inflated and relatively non compliant so they undergo little expansion during inspiration

A

0.25

36
Q

At a normal tidal volume range, which part of the lung receives the majority of ventilation?

A

dependent/base bc apex alveoli already overdistended they’re poorly compliant

37
Q

The dependent/base of the lung is (ventilation and perfusion wise)?

A

ventilated and preferentially perfused

38
Q

A

dependent

39
Q

Distribution of ventilation is changed in an anesthetized paralyzed patient how?

A

changed from the dependent lung to the nondependent lung

40
Q

In an anesthetized paralyzed patient how are ventilation and perfusion distributed in the lateral position?

A

dependent lung is poorly ventilated and well perfused, shunting; nondepedent lung is well ventilated and not well perfused, deadspace

41
Q

Why are FRC and compliance of dependent lung in an anesthetized pt in lateral position decreased?

A

abdominal contents pushing on dependent lung, weight of the mediastinum compresses that lung, axillary rolls compresses that lung

42
Q

Decreased FRC and compliance in the dependent lung favor ventilation in?

A

non dependent lung

43
Q

Once the chest wall is opened, compliance greatly increases where?

A

non dependent lung

44
Q

What is the sequence of cephalaud displacement of lungs?

A

supine, induction, paralysis, surgical position, displacement by retractors and packs

45
Q

In OLV, which lung is ventilated and which collapsed? What type of mismatch do you get?

A

dependent ventilated, nondependent collapsed; shunt flow

46
Q

How do the lungs function to decrease shunt flow in OLV?

A

arteriolar smooth muscle contract in areas of lung which have decreased PAO2. this directs blood flow away from the hypoxic regions

47
Q

Normal perfusion w 2 lung ventilation, dependent lung gets what % of blood flow and nondependent lung which %?

A

dependent gets 60%, nondependent 40%

48
Q

OLV with HPV, dependent and nondependent lungs get what % of blood flow?

A

nondep gets 20%, dep gets 80%

49
Q

HPV is more effective when what % of the lungs are hypoxic?

A

30-70

50
Q

What type of shunt happens w OLV and HPV?

A

right to left

51
Q

Conditions that worsen right to left shunt w OLV and HPV?

A

very high or low PAPs, hypocapnia, high or low mixed venous PO2, vasodilators, inotropes, beta agonists, Ca channel blockers, pulmonary infection

52
Q

Conditions that reduce HPV indirectly?

A

vasopressors, high airway pressures (PEEP, high inspiratory pressure), low FiO2

53
Q

Is CO2 affected by OLV if MV is not changed?

A

usually not

54
Q

Surgeries that may need OLV?

A

pneumonectomy, lobe resection, segmental resection, thoracic aneurysm repair. esophageal surgeries, thoracoscopy, single lung transplant, anterior approach to thoracic spine, bronchioalveolar lavage,

55
Q

Pt related indications for OLV?

A

confine infection or bleeding to one lung, separate ventilation to one lung (bronchopleural fistula, tracheobronchial disruption, large lung cyst or bulla), severe hypoxemia d/t unilateral disease

How do you pass a DLT?

A

distal curve concave up/anteriorly and rotated 90 degrees towards side of bronchus to be intubated after tip/bronchial balloon enters larynx rotate it 90 degrees then take out stylet and advance until resistance felt

68
Q

Tracheal cuff requires how many mL for inflation?

A

5-10

69
