Higher than sphingoyelin, made of phosphotidle choline

24
Q

Oxygen in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome

A

Causes free radical damage, can cause blindness

25
Q

26
Q

Keratin pearls with intracellular bridges

A

Squamous cell carcinoma

27
Q

Most common lung tumor in non smokers

A

Adenocarcinoma

28
Q

pleural effusion

A

increased hydrostatic pressure and increased rate of fluid flow to the pleural space

29
Q

croup inflammation of the

A

trachea - causes barking cough

30
Q

Traumatic pneumothorax

A

Has crepitus

31
Q

mesothelioma stains positive for

A

cytokeratin

32
Q

Asthma, bronchiectasis, eosinophilia, elevated IgE

A

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

33
Q

shift of trachea to the right

A

left pneuothorax

34
Q

cilia ends where in the lungs

A

terminal bronchioles

35
Q

positive end expiratory pressure

A

PEEP helps treat ARDS by opening collapsed alveoli to reduce intrapulmonary shunting and increase functional residual capacity

36
Q

leukotrienes

A

vasoconstriction, increased vascular permeability and bronchospasm

37
Q

stimulates broncodilation via blockade of binding of acetylcholine to muscarinic receptors

A

ipratropium, mostly used in COPD

38
Q

5 lipoxygenase inhibitor that reduces production of leukotrienes

A

Ziluteon

39
Q

ARDS affects which cell type?

A

type 1 pneumocytes

40
Q

COPD

A

increase airway resistance and increased lung compliance

41
Q

Most common mutation if A1AT deficiency

A

PiZ

42
Q

A1AT deficiency also affects the

A

Liver - protein accumulation in endoplasmic reticulum

43

A

tetralogy of fallot

50
Q

findings in tetralogy of fallot

A
  1. Right ventricular outflow obstruction
  2. ventricular septal defect
51
Q

septic shock

A

widespread vasodilation leading to decreased SVR, increased cardiac index, decreased CVP (r sided preload)

52
Q

cardiogenic shock

A

decreased cardiac index, increased PCWP, increased CVP(r sided preload), increased SVR, decreased SV02

53
Q

A

progressive scarring of the small airways - can happen in chronic lung transplant rejection. Reduced FEV1, normal FVC

54
Q

failure of primitive foregut to separate from airway

A

esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula, can present with polyhydrammios due to inability to swallow fluid; significant drooling, coughing, cyanosis with feeds due to reflux/aspiration of breastmilk into lungs; x ray shows a stomach bubble
