Q

What increases zone 1 in the lungs?

A

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)

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?

So, CC increases as we age, making it easier for airway to collapse
