Q

Obstructed airways, increased lung compliance and increases in airway resistance all increase the time needed for _______ _______.

A

alveolar filling

17
Q

Gas exchange is compromised if there is inadequate time for alveolar _________ or ________.

A

filling; emptying

18
Q

Lung unit with a _____ time constant is slow to fill and empty, and it can continue filling when surrounding units are emptying.

A

long

19
Q

In upright lungs, are the bases or apices better perfused?

A

bases

20
Q

_________ regulate blood flow through regional vascular beds and maintain peripheral vascular resistance and thus systemic blood pressure.

A

arterioles

21
Q

What are the 9 steps in the intervention hierarchy to manage O2 transport limitations?

A
  1. Mobilization and exercise
  2. Body positioning
  3. Breathing control maneuvers
  4. Coughing maneuvers
  5. Relaxation and energy conservation techniques
  6. ROM exercises
  7. Postural drainage positioning
  8. Manual techniques
  9. Suctioning
22
Q

The respiratory system (does/does not) adapt to exercise training.

A

DOES NOT

23
Q

Does the respiratory system limit exercise?

A

In highly trained men and women, possibly

24
Q

What are 2 potential respiratory system limitations?

A
  1. Exercise induced arterial hypoxemia

2. Respiratory muscle fatigue and steal of skeletal muscle blood flow

25
Q

EIAH = arterial O2 desaturation of >__-__% below resting levels during exercise.

A

3-4

26
Q

EIAH is observed in ~___% of elite male endurance athletes with a VO2 max > 65mL/kg/min.

A

50

27
Q

EIAH is characterized by a _______ PaO2 and an _______ alveolar to arterial O2 difference.

A

decreased; increased

28
Q

PaCO2 >___ mmHg = inadequate compensatory hyperventilation.

A

35

29
Q

What are 2 possible mechanisms of inadequate hyperventilatory compensation?

A
  1. Blunted drive to breath (reduced chemrsensitivity)

2. Mechanical ventilatory constraints (expiratory flow limitation)

30
Q

_____ mismatching is the primary contributor to the development of EIAH.

A

Va/Q

31
Q

What is an extra-pulmonary shunt?

A

deoxygenated blood returning from the exercising muscles bypasses the lungs completely through bronchial and thebesian veins and is dumped into the left atrium of the heart

32
Q

What is an intra-pulmonary shunt?

A

deoxygenated blood that passes through the lunges but does not participate in pulmonary gas exchange; venous blood mixes with and dilutes arterial blood

33
Q

Shunts play a _____ role in exercise gas exchange.

A

minor

34
Q

What are the two major determinants of alveolar capillary diffusion during exercise?

A
  1. decreased transit time of the RBC’s in the pulmonary capillary
  2. increased distance for diffusion
35
Q

What are the 2 functions of the blood gas barrier?

A
  1. pulmonary gas diffusion (must be thin)

2. Withstand high capillary wall stressed with exercise (must be strong)

36
Q

The threshold of EIAH to influence exercise performance occurs when SaO2 decreases by ___-___% below resting levels., Beyond this threshold, each further 1% decrease in SaO2 results in a __-__% decrease in VO2 max.

A

3-4;1-2
