Quiz 4 Flashcards
What are the two different blood supplies of the lungs? Which provides blood supply for respiration and which provides supply for ventilation?
What is the difference in location of the pulmonary arteries in the hilum of both the R and L lung? What acronym is used to remember?
RALS
Right Anterior (to R primary bronchus)
Left Superior (to L primary bronchus)
Vd is dead space
What is the difference between anatomical and physiological dead space?
Anatomical dead space cannot participate in gas exchange by design.
Physiological dead space COULD participate in gas exchange, but often doesn’t
How much anatomical dead space does the average adult have?
150mL
What airway passages are considered anatomic dead space?
What is CaO2 in blood chemistry?
It is the arterial blood oxygen content
What is the equation for CaO2?
What is SaO2? How is it measured?
SaO2 is hemoblogin saturation
It is measured with pulse ox
What is considered the normal CaO2 level for a person (value, not range)?
20.1ml O2/dL of blood
What are the three methods by which CO2 can be transported in the blood?
1) Dissolved in plasma as a bicarbonate ion (80%)
2) Bound to hemoglobin (14%)
3) Dissolved in plasma as CO2 (6%)
Where in the systemic circulation is chloride content in RBCs the highest?
The right atrium
*Cl- ions diffuse into RBCs to balance the H+ generated from bicarbonate formation from carbonic acid
**Cl- will be highest in RA because that blood has maximal amounts of CO2 and has formed maximal amounts of HCO3-
How does the Bohr effect explain how increased pCO2 allows for increased delivery of oxygen to tissues?
Increases in pCO2 will cause an increase in bicarbonate formation which generates a proton as a byproduct
What is carbaminohemoglobin? What situations encourage more carbaminohemoglobin formation?
Carbon dioxide bound directly to the amino groups on hemoglobin
Deoxygenated hemoglobin has a higher affinity for CO2, so it will form more often at lower O2 saturation
How does the Haldane effect describe the increased removal of CO2 in an environment of increased pO2?
*The formation of which CO2 is able to be removed in the lungs
What are the five notable causes of hypoxemia?
Hypoventilation
Low FiO2
V/Q mismatch
Shunt
Diffusion impairment
Which of the 5 causes of hypoxemia will not respond to supplemental O2?
Shunts
Explain the following evaluation chart going over each box.
Good job!
What are the ABC’s (A-I) of reading a CXR?
What structure is indicated by the arrows? What type of interstitial lung disease is this commonly found in?
Fibroblastic foci
Idiopathic/Familial pulmonary fibrosis
What structure is indicated by the arrows? What disease process is it indicative of?
Asbestos body
Pneumoconiosis, specifically asbestosis
What types of interstial lung disease are likely to present with UIP (usual interstitial pneumonia) pattern?
1) Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
2) Familial pulmonary fibrosis
3) ILD associated with CTD (connective tissue disease)
Which ILD are associated with non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)? How can NSIP be differentiated from UIP?
ILD associated with CTD such as rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma (both can also present with UIP)
NSP presents without fibroblastic foci
What are the two defining features of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia?
1) Cryptogenic meaning of no known cause
2) Plugging of the alveolar duct with loose fibroconnective tissue (varying degrees of plugging)
What is the main characterization of sarcoidosis? What findings would be indicative of sarcoidosis on BAL?
Non-necrotizing granulomatous deposition into tissues (commonly interstitial and hilar)
Increased CD4:CD8 ratio would be supportive of sarcoidosis
What findings are indicated by the arrows? What describes their most common location? What pathology is likely?
Granulomas
Distribution along brochovascular bundles and interlobular septa
Sarcoidosis
What describes the findings indicated by the arrows? What are they composed of? What pathology is most likely?
Granulomas
Composed of histiocytes and giant cells (typically well-formed)
Sarcoidosis
What is the treatment for sarcoidosis?
Many patients do not require treatment if asymptomatic
If critical organ dysfunction or severe constitutional symptoms (i.e. fatigue, hypercalcemia) can treat with corticosteroids
What finding is indicated by the black arrow? Is this finding indicative of sarcoidosis?
An ill-defined granuloma composed of giant cells and histiocytes and surrounded by lymphocytes
This is indicatie of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and can be contrasted with the well-differentiated granulomas seen in sarcoidosis
What are three notable history findings and one hallmark PE finding in ILD?
Hx
-Dyspnea (usually on exertion, at rest in severe)
-Very slow progression (months)
-Little/no sputum
PE
-High-pitched end-inspiratory crackles (rales) at lung bases
What are the four main injury patterns for ILD?
1) Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)
2) Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)
3) Organizing pneumonia (OP)
4) Granulomas
What are three notable histopathological features of UIP in ILD?
What are three notable histopathological features of NSIP in ILD?
What is the notable histopathological feature of OP in ILD?
What are three notable histopathological features of granulomas in ILD?
What histopathologic features are shown here? What class of ILD histology is it?
What histopathologic features are shown here? What class of ILD histology is it?
What histopathologic features are shown here? What class of ILD histology is it?
What histopathologic features are shown here? What class of ILD histology is it?
What are the differences between a collagenized nodule and a granuloma?
What are three notable histology findings in hypersensitivity pneumonitis?
What is on the differential for causes of UIP in ILD?
What is on the differential for causes of NSIP in ILD?
What is on the differential for causes of OP in ILD?

Which volume and two capacities can not be determined by spirometry?
