Physiology Flashcards
Dead space
Area of the lung that is not perfused but is ventilated, meaning there is no gas exchange
Like peor long standing disease
A-a gradient change in a shunt
In a shunt A-a gradient is elevated because when you jack up o2 the alveolar o2 goes up but arterial stays the same so the gradient increases
Need to increase areas of ventilation like recruitment maneuver
Oxygen content eqution
Cao2 = [hb x saturation x 1.34] +.003 x Pao2
1.34 is how many ml of 2 a hgb can carry
Consumption of o2
Vo2 = hb x (Sat a- sat mv) x 1.34 x co
Delivery of o2
C art o2 x cardiac output
Svo2 mixed venous o2 decrease
Mv sat (svo2) depends on hgb co and art sat as well as vo2 or also known as consumption of o2 If consumption goes up or other go down that will dec mvo2
Arterial content of o2 factors
The major factor is hgb x sat x 1.34
The minor factor is .003 x pao2
This means that arterial content is mostly dependent on the hgb and minorly on the pao2
The pao2 is roughly estimated by 5x o2 inhaled
Normal is 21% so pao2 is normall 100
Arterial saturation is pulse ox
Normal cardiac outputting
5 l/min
Svr
1200 dynes/sec/cm5
Normal oxygen consumption vo2
250 ml/ min
Or 3.5 cc/kg
Normal 70 kilo person is 240
Stated as vo2
Normal mixed venous sat
75 % o2
46 for co2
Dysoxia
Point where oxygen consumtpion vo2 decreases due to do2 decreaseing
Do2 is delivery of o2
Dysoxia and svo2
When vo2 starts outpacing do2, svo2 drops
Delivery of oxygen is equal to cardiac output times arterial o2
Arterial o2 is equal to hemoglobin x arterial o2 sat(pulse ox) x 1.34 +.003 x the pao2
So when mixed venous sat starts dropping we can increase co with inotropes / fluids, or increases artrial o2 by increasing hgb / increasing peep/ or increasing fio2
If that doesnt work then you can decreasin vo2 oxygen consumption
Shunt
An area of the lung that is perfused but not ventilated
V/q ratio is 0
Can be from vsd, mucous plug, right mainsten
Oxygen produces how much atp per molecule of glucose
38
Atp synthase and h+
Allows the h+ to enter the mitochondria after being pumped out by the electron transport chain and makes atp
Post op fever
Day 1-2 wind (pna aspiration pe poss atlectasis)
Day 3-5 water (uti 2/2 foley during sx)
Day 4-6 walking ( weins) dvr or pe
Wound 5-7 surgical sight infection
Wonder drug 7+ drug feber or infection 2/2 iv line
Nitroglycerin affect
Mainly on preload does not affect svo2
Nitroprusside
Causes cyanide toxicity ehich dec use of o2 falsely elevates o2 but at cellular level patient is hypoxic
Ci
Co/ body surface area
Sepsis and mixed venous sat
Increases because mitchondrial use of o2 is impaired
Bohr affect
Essentially means increase co2 binding to hgb causes increwsed release of o2 ( right shift)
Haldane affect statea
Deoxy blood can bind co2 as a buffer
Fick equation
Relates consumption to delivery
Respiratory quotient
Production of co2 for every o2 consumed
Carbs make 1 to 1 o2 consumed
Protein is .8
Fat is .7
In patients nearing respiratory failure you can dec carbs and more lipids to dec co2 produxtion
Carbonic anyhydrase
Found in rbc and endothelium
Makes co2 + water into bicarb
Majority of co2 is bicarb. Only a little is actually bond to hgb
Normal paco2 svco2
40 46
Pao2/fio2 ration in ards
Pcwp in ards
Generally less than 18 to rule out cardiogenic causes
Ards cc/kg
Initially starts at 8cc per kg then decrease to 6cc/kg
When patient has more then 30 pleatue lressure decrease the tidal volume
