resp random Flashcards
what blood pH is seen in pregnancy
compensated respiratory alkalosis
what is the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis
fluids IV
glucose-potassium-insulin infusion
what pH does aldosterone hypersecretion cause
metabolic alkalosis - Na+/H+ exchange increasing acid secretion into tubules making blood more alkaline
what does aldosterone do
secretion of potassium
retention of Na and water
Asthma COPD chest injuries airway tumours all cause
respiratory acidosis - CO2 retention
anxiety
fever
brainstem damage
all cause
respiratory alkalosis - hyperventilation
diarrhoea
extreme exercise
diabetic ketoacidosis
all cause
metabolic acidosis
diarrhoea - loss of HCO3
extreme exercise - production of lactic acid
what is the asthma triad
reversible airflow obstruction
airway inflammation
airway hyperresponsiveness
what is involved in airway remodelling
fixed airway obstruction
thickening of basement membrane
collagen deposition in submucosa
hypertrophy of smooth muscle
PEFR < 50% unable to finish sentences tachycardia RR > 25 HR > 110
severe asthma
PEFR < 30% bradycardia, hypotension, silent chest exhaustion, confusion hypoxia acidosis
life threatening asthma
what is the most common cause of occupational asthma
isocyanates
what happens to residual volume in emphysema
increased
what happens to vital capacity in emphysema
decreased
what defines chronic bronchitis
cough productive of sputum on most days of 3 months of at least 2 successive years
what is seen microscopically in bronchitis
goblet cell metaplasia
macrophage accumulation
fibrosis around bronchioles
