Respiratory Flashcards

1
Q

When looking at the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve graph, what causes there to be a steep incline?

A

This is the result of the increased ease of O2 binding as the second, third, and forth O2 molecules are bound to the same heme subunits.

Q

True or False

Patients suffering from ARDS usually require less PEEP then other respiratory related diseases.

A

False.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients will generally require PEEP at 12 - 18 cm H2O

** normal PEEP is 5 - 10 cm H2O **

Q

A patient is being adequately ventilated yet perfusion remains low. Is this suggestive of a high or low V/Q mismatch?

A

17
Q

A _______ shift results in more oxygen released from the hemoglobin, resulting in greater oxygen delivery to tissues.

A

Right Shift shift results in more oxygen released from the hemoglobin, resulting in greater oxygen delivery to tissues.

18
Q

True or False

Asthma is consider to be a form of COPD

A

False

** To be considered a form of COPD, the condition must be irreversible **

19
Q

When oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, which shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is conducive to releasing the oxygen?

A

Right Shift releases oxygen

20
Q

_______ is characterized as bronchoconstriction, airway inflammation, edema, and mucus plugging.

A

Asthma

21
Q

________ is the result of chronic irritation which causes hyperplasia of the tracheobronchial mucus glands and goblet cells.

A

Chronic Bronchitis (COPD)

22
Q

________ is the occlusion of the pulmonary artery or one or more of its branches.

A

Pulmonary Embolus

23
Q

Typical non-rebreather mask only deliver ______% FiO2.

A

60 - 70% FiO2

24
Q

To be classified as “emergency oxygen,” the administration of oxygen must meet one of two criteria. What are they?

A

Oxygen must be delivered:

  • at a dose ≥ 6 L/min
  • –OR—
  • run for > 15 mins
25
Q

Would a pulmonary emboli result in a high or low V/Q mismatch?

A

High V/Q mismatch

** gas is getting into the lungs but the blood flow to facility gas exchange is reduced **

26
Q

______ is the balance between the ventilation (bringing the oxygen in to and removing of CO2 from the alveoli) and the perfusion (removing oxygen from the alveoli and adding carbon dioxide).

A

V/Q Ratio -

** Ventilation/Perfusion Ration **

27
Q

A _______ shift results in less oxygen being released by hemoglobin at significantly lower PO2, resulting in decreased O2 delivery to tissues.

A

Left Shift results in less oxygen being released by hemoglobin at significantly lower PO2, resulting in decreased O2 delivery to tissues.

28
Q

When oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, which shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is conducive to holding onto the oxygen?

A

Left Shift holds onto the oxygen

29
Q

Your patient is hyperthermic and breathing slowly (6-8 rpm). Would you expect to see a left or right shift of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve?

A

Right Shift

30
Q

When looking at the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve graph, why is the first part of graph relatively flat?

A

This indicates the difficulty of attaching the first O2 molecule to the heme subunit on the hemoglobin molecule.

31
Q

________ is defined as the presence of a productive cough for three months out of the year for two years in a row.

A

Chronic Bronchitis (COPD)

32
Q

A patient with adequate blood flow yet the alveoli are not exchanging gas effectively is suggestive of what?

A

Low V/Q Mismatch

A

Hypercoagulability

  • Decreased 2, 3 DPG
  • Decreased Temperature
  • Increased pH (Alkalosis)
  • CO poisoning
35
Q

What are type 1 respiratory cells?

A

Type 1 respiratory cells are responsible for gas exchange (alveoli tissue)

36
Q

If a patient experiences a decrease of pH levels (respiratory acidosis), would you expect a left or right shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve?

A

Right Shift

37
Q

What are some primary factors that affect oxygen’s “affinity?”

A
  • Carbon Dioxide Levels
  • Oxygen Levels
  • Temperature
  • 2, 3 DPG
  • pH

A

Chronic Emphysema (COPD)

39
Q

True or False

Applying a nasal cannula at 15 L/min PLUS using a non-rebreather mask will significantly increase oxygen delivery as well as increase PEEP.

A

True

40
Q

What is the calculation for oxygen delivery?

A

4 - 8 ml/kg

** based on IDBW **

41
Q

What are the two classifications of COPD?

A
