Respiratory Flashcards
Which of the following statement regarding oxygen toxicosis is false:
- It is often irreversible
- Blindness has been reported in humans
- Related to lipid per oxidation
- In patients on long-term oxygen therapy, FIO2 should be less than 80%
- In patients on long-term oxygen therapy, FIO2 should be less than 80%. FIO2 should be less than 60%
Which of the following statement regarding primary ciliary dyskinesia is true:
- It is idiopathic
- It is heterogenous group of inherited autosomal dominant diseases
- It could involve other ciliated tissue
- It could be associated with a reduced production of mucous
It could involve other ciliated tissue. In fact otitis media, reproductive problems, renal fibrosis and dilation of renal tubules can be seen.
- It is idiopathic= it is a genetic disorder
- It is heterogenous group of inherited autosomal dominant diseases = it is recessive
- it could be associated with a reduced production of mucous = usually, there is an excessive production of mucous (difficult to rid off)
Based on human medicine, which one is not one of the 3 hallmark of asthma?
- Obstruction/airways limitation
- Reversible airways inflammation
- Airways hyperresposiveness
- Smooth muscle atrophy
Smooth muscle atrophy
Which is the most common cause of pneumothorax in cats?
- Idiopathic
- Trauma
- Asthma
- Neoplasia
Asthma
Which of the following statement regarding pleural effusion is false:
- Low glucose is indicative of sepsi
- High concentration of NT-proBNP is indicative of cardiac origin
- FIP effusion is aseptic exudate
- Chylothorax is composed by high concentration of small lymphocytes
Low glucose is indicative of sepsi
In fact, this is not as clear as abdominal effusion
Which is the contraindication for nebulization of N-acetylcysteine?
- Toxic in cats
- Cannot be nebulized
- Cause bronchoconstriction
- Direct contact cause necrosis of the respiratory mucosa
- Cause bronchoconstriction
Identification of loud inspiratory crackles in the absence of alveolar lung pattern, can be an excellent clue of:
- Pulmonary edema
- Pulmonar fibrosis
- Emphysema
- Pneumothorax
- Pulmonar fibrosis
Which one of the following is not a potential cause of pulmonary hypertension in dogs?
- Generalized alveolar hypoxia
- Left-side congestive heart failure
- Living at high altitude
- Treatment with alpha-adrenergic agonists
- Treatment with alpha-adrenergic agonists
In case of anemia, the affinity of hermoglobin and O2 in the arterial blood is:
- Increased
- Decreased
- Remains the same
- I dont care
Remains the same
In toxicity due to CO there is :
- decreased PO2 and SaO2
- increased PO2 and decreased SaO2
- stable PO2 and decreased SaO2
- decreased PO2 and increased SaO2
stable PO2 and decreased SaO2
