V/Q mismatch to shunting

59
Q

how to distinguish between V/Q mismatch and shunting

A

V/Q mismatch: responds to supplmental O2; imbalance
between lung perfusion and
ventilation, presents as ↓O2 but
nl CO2

Shunting: lack of ventilation in
well-perfused areas (e.g. PNA,
atelectasis); not responsive to
supplemental O2

60
Q

nml A-a gradient with normal Co2 and dec PaO2

A

high altitudes

61
Q

pathophys of ARDS

A 
diffuse inflammatory response
→ neutrophil activation →
interstitial damage and alveolar
collapse → massive shunting →
dyspnea + respiratory distress
62
Q

How to Dx and Tx ARDS

A
  • Dx CXR shows diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates (white-out of lungs)
  • Dx ABG shows hypoxia (PaO2 <60) not responsive to O2 therapy
  • Dx PCWP shows no evidence of CHF
  • Tx ventilation w/ ↓FiO2, ↑PEEP
63
Q

etiologies of ARDS

A

septic shock (MCC), aspiration pneumonia, trauma

64
Q

goals of ventialtion

A

maintian alveolar ventialtion and correct hypoxia

65
Q 
Distinguish between the following ventilator settings
AC
SIMV
CPAP
PSV
A
  1. AC (assisted control) – has backup RR, gives preset VT per attempted breath
  2. SIMV (synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation) – has backup RR, does not have preset VT per breath
  3. CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) – no backup RR, continuous PEEP support
  4. PSV (pressure support ventilation) – PEEP support only with attempted breath
66
Q

What ventiator settings control CO2? O2?

A

CO2 with EE and TV

O2 with FiO2 and PEEP

67
Q

softening of tracheal cartilage w/ prolonged ventilation; PPx tracheostomy if ventilator-dependent for 2+ wks

A

tracheomalacia

68

presents as exertional dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain, ±syncope

A

Pulm HTN

69
Q

etiology of primary pukm HTN

Prognosis ?

A

∆BMPR2 → uninhibited smooth muscle growth → ↑pulmonary resistance
Px: mean survival 2-3 yrs

70
Q

Etiologies of cor pulmonale

A

COPD (MCC), recurrent PE, ILD, asthma, sleep apnea, CF, pneumoconioses

71
Q

acute onset chest pain,
dyspnea, hyperventilation,
hemoptysis, right-sided heart failure → death

Dx and Tx

A

PE

  • Dx D-dimer to r/o, spiral CT or V/Q scan to r/in
  • Tx heparin + warfarin
  • Tx tPA to speed up clot resolution (massive
  • PE, unstable, right heart failure, no c/i)
  • recurrent PE → Tx IVC filter
