associations pulmonary hypoplasia
congenital diaphragmatic hernia and bilateral renal agenesis
bronchogenic cysts
abnormal budding of foregut and dilation of terminal or large bronchi
club cells
nonciliated, low cuboidal
secrete component of surfactant and degrade toxins
secretion of surfactant
from lamellar bodies in type II pneumocytes
composition surfactant
lecithins, mostly DPPC
time surfactant synthesis
26 weeks
risk factors neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
prematurity, maternal diabetes (due to fetal insulin), C section (decrease glucocorticoids)
result supplemental O2
retinopathy of prematurity, intraventricular hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia
least airway resistance
terminal bronchioles
anatomic dead space
does not participate in gas exchange
extend to beginning of terminal bronchioles
ciliated
mucociliary escalator
smooth muscle cells
extend to end of terminal bronchioles

largest contributor of dead space
apex
pathologic dead space
unable to perform gas exchange
physiologic dead space
anatomic and alveolar dead space
inward pull of lung balanced by outward pull of chest wall
FRC
and system pressure is atmospheric
intrapleural pressure is negative
high compliance
easy to fill
emphysema and normal aging
low compliance
pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonia, NRDS, pulmonary edema
hysteresis
lung inflation different than deflation due to need to overcome surface tension in inflation
positive cooperativity and negative allostery
Hb
taut form for unloading
Cl, H, CO2, 23BPG and T
O2 affinity in fetal Hb
from decrease affinity for 23 BPG
methemoglobin
oxidized
increase affinity for cyanide
induced methemoglobin
nitrite followed by thiosulfate
used for cyanide poisoning
decrease O2 binding capacity with left shift in dissociation, decrease unloading
carboxyhemoglobin
treatment methemoglobinemia
methylene blue and vitamin C
cause Fe2 to Fe3
nitrites and benzocaine
does not show positive cooperativity
myoglobin
left shift
renal hypoxia leads to increase EPO
compensatory erythrocytosis
perfusion limited
O2, CO2, N2O
equilibrates early
only increase diffusion with increase in flow
diffusion limited
O2 in emphysema and fibrosis, CO
does not equilibrate
causes increase A-a gradient
shunting, V/Q mismatch, fibrosis
hypoxemia with normal A-a
high altitude
hypoventilation
loss of blood flow
decrease venous drainage
impeded arterial flow
wasted ventilation
apex
wasted perfusion
base
shunt
airway obstruction
does not improve with 100% O2
dead space
blood flow obstruction
improves with 100% O2
carboxyhemoglobin
CO2 bound to N terminus of globin
highest % CO2 transport
HCO3
altitude sickness
increase ventialtion leading to respiratory alkalosis
responses altitude sickness
EPO
increase 2,3BPG
incrase HCO3 excretion
pulmonary vasoconstriction
response to exercise
increase O2 consumption
increase ventilation rate to meet O2 demand
V/Q more uniform
decrease pH
no change in PaO2 or PaCO2 but increase in venous CO2 content and decrease in venous O2 content
