Q

Functions of Respiratory System

A
Gas Exchange
Acid base balance
Phonation
Pulmonary defence and metabolism
- cough mucus clearance
- lung filter
- vasoactive substance metabolism

Lungs also phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages, filter emboli and leukocytes and excrete volatile substances

It modifies or uptake of serotonin, prostaglandins, norepinephrine, bradykinin, (does not metabolize epinephrine or histamine as it is a major source of histamine release)

Converts angiotensin 1- Angiotensin 2

Synthesize of surfactant

Q

Alveolar Gas Equation

A

PA02=Fi02(Pb-PH20)-(PaC02)/RQ

PA02= 0.21 ( 760-47)- (40/0.8)

PA02= 100mmHg

Increasing PaC02 alone will decrease PA02 (and thus Pa02)

Important of preoxygenation

PH20 is saturated vapour pressure of water at body temperature and is normally 47 at atmospheric pressure

Pb= atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg

This equation is the method for calculating the partial pressure of alveolar oxygen (PA02). Assesses lungs are properly transferring oxygen into the blood.

Q

Define Functional Residual Capacity

What is the importance what can cause increased FRC and decreased FRC

A

Residual volume + expiratory reserve volume
- amount of air left in the lungs after a normal expiration

  • Determined when alveolar pressure = 0 no airflow point where inwards recoil of lung is balanced by outwards recoil of the chest wall
  • usually around 2-3 L
  • It acts as a reserve oxygen allowing continued oxygenation

It is affected by

  • lung size- age, height, sex
  • lung and chest wall disease- ARDS, pleural disease ie pneumo/effusion, abdominal pressures, obesity, anesthetics pneumonia and body position

Decreased FRC Causes

  • Increased WOB, AIrway resistance, decreased lung compliance atelectasis/collapse
  • decreased ventilation and oxygenation
  • increased Pulmonary vascular resistance and increased Afterload

43
Q

What is the Haldane Effect

A

With COPD patients DoxyHb binds to C02 more than OxyHb which increasing OxyHb = more c02 disosolved in blood as HCO+ more PaC02

So more oxygen will bind to hemoglobin in COPD which causes less C02 removal as there is less room for C02 to bind and results in increased C02 in blood PaC02

Will also decrease Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction which can lead to more dead space.
