Pulm Extras Flashcards
alveolar oxygen equation
PAO2=150-PCO2/.8
exhaled CO2 equation
Vt(PaCO2-PeCO2)=Vd(PaCO2)
complex alveolar oxygen equation
PAO2=FiO2(Patm-Ph20)-PCO2/R
Aa gradient equation
A/a=(150-PCO2/.8)-PaO2
A/a= PAO2-PaO2
> 10mm Aa gradient suggests
gas exchange problem
gas flow equation
Vgas=A/T*Dk(PA-Pc)
flow increases with area, decreased thickness, better diffusion and more pressure from alveolus to capillary
5 causes of hypoxia
decreased cardiac output hypoxemia anemia carbon monoxide cyanide
mec of hypoxia via hypoxemia
decreased PaO2, O2 sat of hemoglobin, O2 in blood
mec of hypoxia via anemia
decreased hemoglobin concentration, O2 in blood
mec of hypoxia via carbon monoxide poisoning
less O2 in blood, left-shift of hemoglobin curve
mec of hypoxia via cyanide
less O2 utilization by tissue
no cartilage or goblet cells
terminal and respiratory bronchioles, alveoli
no cilia or smooth muscle
respiratory bronchioles and alveolus
5 causes of hypoxemia
increased altitude hypoventilation diffusion defect v/q defect RL shunt
3 cause of hypoxemia with increased Aa gradient
diffusion defect, V/Q defect, RL shunt
cause of hypoxemia not helped by supplemental O2
RL shunt
squamous and thin
type 1 pneumocytes
cuboidal, secrete surfactant, precursor to I and II pneumocytes
type II pneumocytes
nonciliated, columnar, secrete component of surfactant
clara cells
muscles in exercise inspiration
external intercostals, scalenes, SCM
muscles in exercise expiration
abs, internal intercostals
shift curve right (less affinity) 5

PaO2, PaCO2 in exercise
stay the same
arterial pH in exercise
decrease (strenuous)
V/Q ratio in exercise
more evenly distributed
dead space in exercise
decreases
PAO2, PaO2 at high altitude
decreases
RR, pH, Hgb, 2,3DPG, PVR, PAP at high altitude
go up
top of lung
vent is lower, v/q high
