Q

how do you calculate the A-a gradient? what is a nl A-a gradient?

A

nl A-a = age/4 + 4
A-a gradient = PAO2-PaO2
PAO2=150-1.25(PaCO2)

Q

how do you eavluate someone for methemoglobin (CO posioning)? what is tx?

A

have to order a methemoglobin (b/c an ABG will show a falsely normal PaO2)
tx with 100% O2 and methylene blue

Q

what might you suspect in a pt who is hyperventilating after the were found in a smoky room (no e/o burned airways) and has a nl ABG? Tx?

A

CO posioning - should order methemoglobin and CO levels and tx with 100% oxygen and methylene blue

Q

if someone has restrictive dz (ie TLC <80%), how do you tell if the restriction is extrathoracic (obesity, kyphosis) or intrathoracic (ILD)?

A

in extrathroacic, the reduction in the DLCO will be the same as the reduction in TLC while in intrathoracic the DLCO will be disproportionaetly lower than the TLC

MTX - causes noncytotoxic hypersensitivity interstitial pneumnitis
Bleomycin - cytotoxic pulm. toxicity; uremia, O2 and XRT can worsen bleomycin-related dz
amiodarine - pulm fibrosis

59
Q

define ARDS. what are ideal ARDs ventilator settings?

A

PaO2/FiO2 30 may need to decr TV

60
Q

  • PC (press control)
A

CMV: ventilator controls everything, no spontaneous breathing allowed
AC: set rate & TV; if there is a spontaneous breath vent gives full TV (can have stacking if hyperventilating
SIMV: like AC but spontaneous breath overrides machine
PSV: extra pressure when pt inspires; can use PS alone or with SIMV; no rate/TV set
PC: pressure and rate are set, no TV set; good for people when you want to avoid barotrauma

61

RA: 0-8
RV: 15-30/0-8
PA: 15-30/3-12

63
Q

which lung cancers are classically central? peripheral?

A

Squamous and Small cell are “Sentral”

adeno and large cell are peripheral
