lymphatic/pulmonary channels; in first days of life
Changes in ______,_____ and _____→leads to what?

Comment on LA pressure and RA pressure, pressure gradient and foramen ovale.
Increase in ↑LA pressure +↓RA pressure reverses pressure gradient across the Foramen ovale which causes a functional closure of THIS LEFT TO RIGHT one way flap valve.
Explain Control of respiration: Breathing is controlled by (3 factors) ? (IIO)
what provides afferent signaling?P_UC

Afferent signaling provided by

Central chemoreceptors responsive to __________and __________are thought to be located or near the ______________
Arterial CO2 tension and pH
Ventral surface medulla
Nose, pharynx, larynx contain what?
what can they cause?
pressure, chemical, temperature, and flow receptors
Can cause apnea, coughing, changes in ventilation
Pulmonary receptors in lung parenchyma
What kind of receptors are they ? aka_______
Where are they located?
What do they balance?
These receptors may be involved and Cause what reflex?
That reflex Prevents what?
Slowly adaption receptors (stretch receptors)
In airway smooth muscle
Balance of inspiration/expiration
Might cause Hering-Breuer reflex
Prevents overdistention of lungs via vagal stimulation/ and prevents COLLAPSE OF THE LUNGS
Rapidly adapting receptors located where ?
Triggered by ___________
such as _____________
Between airway epithelial
Triggered by noxious stimuli
Dust, smoke, histamine
Parenchymal receptors located __________
next _________
Juxtacapillary receptors
• Next to alveolar blood vessels
Parenchymal receptors respond to what? (3)
• Respond to hyperinflation, chemical stimuli in pulmn.
circ., interstitial congestion
Does not depress upper airway latency (medications)
Ketamine
Chest wall Receptors are
Located in?
Sense changes in
Also have
- Mechanoreceptors
- In muscle spindle endings and tendons of resp. muscles
- Sense change in length, tension, and movement
- Joint properioreceptors
Central integration of respiration by two centers
Brainstem (involuntary)
Cortical (voluntary)
Cerebral cortex
Influence?
Involve in ?
Influence or overrides involuntary rhythm generation
Emotion, arousal, pain, speech, etc
Possible resp. rhythm generators ________and th _______________, neural circuits in the _____________
are though to be the rhythm generators
What do those groups of neurons do?
Pre-Bötzinger complex and the retrotrapezoid
nucleus/parafacial respiratory group, neural circuits in the
ventrolateral medulla are thought to be the respiratory rhythm generators
- They fire in an oscillation patterns which is moderated by input from other resp. centers
Involuntary integration of sensory input occurs in various respiratory nuclei and neural complexes in the
pons and medulla that modify the
baseline pacemaker firing of resp. rhythm generators
Involuntary integration of sensory input
Effectors of ventilation (4)
Neural efferent pathways
Muscles of resp.
Bones/cartilage of chest wall + airway
Elastic connective tissue
Upper airway patency is maintained by 2 things:
connective tissue
contractions of pharyngeal dilator muscles
Diaphragm produces most______During ________
volume during normal, quiet breathing
Provide →additional neg. pressure → more tidal volume
Abdominal + intercostal muscles + accessory muscles
(sternocleidomastoid, neck muscles
Expiration is the
elastic recoil of lungs + thorax
Normally
- Inspiration = ______
- Expiration = _______
active
passive
Vigorous breathing/obstruction
Both active
Chest wall infants change in compliance?
↓ chest wall compliance
In Infants, the chest wall is more compliant therefore the __________Is not counterbalanced by _________
What breaks expiration?
_____>_____
What impairs that mechanism?
tendency of lung to collapse NOT counterbalanced by chest wall rigidity
Inspiratory muscles brake expiration
ERV > FRC
The braking mechanism is Impaired by anesthesia which can lead to airway closure and atelectasis
Component of assessment
Assess for_____,_____,_____ pathology
Consider
which can be Impacted by
History, physical exam, evaluation of vital signs
Airway, musculoskeletal, neurologic
gas exchange
cardiac, hepatic, renal, or hematologic diseases
For pediatrics most important
O2 Saturation
Heart rate
Risk factors for airway Issues
- resp. infection within 2 weeks
- wheezing during exercise

- family Hx asthma, rhinitis (runny nose)
- Exposure to tobacco smoke
Establish ______and ______of URI
Precipitating factors of _______frequency, severity and ______Factors
timeframe, freq., severity
Antibiotics?
wheezing, frequency, severity, relieving factors
For Chronic pulm. Dz =
assess what causes acute exacerbations
In young infants, figure out:
Gestational age at birth, current postconceptual age,
neonatal resp. difficulties, NICU/prolonged
intubation
Premies at risk for
R/T
apneic episodes
subglottic stenosis,
tracheomalacia (Weak cartilage)
prolonged intubation
For gross assessment
Inspect from a distance
Get baseline RR, SpO2, look for signs of accessory
respiratory muscle use (resp. distress)
Weight important because
Chronic pulm. Dz →
Severe obesity →
malnourished, underweight, growth retardation
obstruction, sleep apnea
Eczema + atopy (↑immune system) =
hyperreactive airway

Dynamic studies include
Spirometry
Flow volume loops
Peak expiratory flow
Obstructive PFT Obstruction =
