Q

What increases zone 1 in the lungs?

A

Hypotension (no blood thru lungs)
PE (blocks blood from coming in contact with alveoli)
Excessive airway pressure (too much V not enough Q)

Q

What causes west zone 4?

A
  • increased volume: mitral stenosis, fluid overload
  • Fluid is pulled d/t a decrease in pleural pressure: laryngospasm, mullers maneuver (bite tube and breathe in)

Q

What causes Increased Aa gradient? O2 or CO2?

A

Q

How to determine time to desaturation?

A

FRC/ VO2
Where FRC is (100% O2= 2300x1.0)- 2300
Where FRC is (21%O2= 2300x.21)
Where VO is 250
In the first- 9.2 minutes

Q

Normal relation between FRC and CC

A

FRC should always be bigger!
If CC is bigger than FRC, alveoli will collapse during normal Vt
CC>FRC-> shunting, hypoxemia

Q

How does age effect CC/FRC?

A

30-CC=FRC during anesthesia
44-CC=FRC when supine
66- CC=FRC when standing
So, CC increases as we age, making it easier for airway to collapse

RCA 80%
LCA 75%
LCA ~100%

A

LV (sub but later no sub)endocardium- it squezes the hardest
Thats why LCA pressure waveform drops as compared to regular arterial line waveform

115
Q

RCA arterial waveform

A

Small A line
Stays relatively the same, no major squeeze drops it

116
Q

3 things that increase myocardial O2 demand

A

Decreases supply
Increases demand
Cause it causes hardy inotropy

A

Cardiac- contraction
Muscle cell- opposite
