Q

FLF Clearance

Before Birth

During Labor

After Birth

A

35% cleared during days prior to birth (decrease secretion of FLF through decrease Cl secretion, increase Na transport from alveolar space, increase lymhatic oncotic pressure)

30% cleared during labor:
- ENac Channel, active Na absorption
From catecholamine surge, higher cortisol and thyroid hormone
- mechanical force compresse fetal chest
- epinephrine suppress FLF secretion (cl channels)

35% cleared postnatally: lung distention (↑transpulmonary pressure), ↑ Lymphatic oncotic pressure associated with low fetal alveolar protein, crying.

Q

What are these respiratory reflexes:

Hering-Breur inflation Reflex

Parodoxical reflex of head

Hering-Breuer Deflation Relex

J receptor reflex ?

A

Hering Breur Reflex: Lung over-inflation leads to cessation of inspiration. Protective. increase with GA, strongest in first few months. NB>Adults (via pulmonary stretch receptor (on airway smooth muscle > medulla > vagal nerve )

Parodoxical reflex of Head
* Inhibition of Hering Breur reflex results in extended inspiration. initial NB breaths in term infant (parodoxical increase in diaphgramatic contraction during inflation)
* probably important in causing periodic deep sighs breath.

Hering-Breuer Deflation Relex:
increase in ventilatory rate with abrupt deflation of the lungs (i.e. pneumothorax)
associated with deep sign breath.
Help maintain FRC in infant’s

J Receptor Reflex: Juxta capillary receptors; Rapid shallow breathing (can be dissociated from chemoreceptor)

Q

Time constance calculation
(IMPORTANT)

A

Time constant = resistance x compliance

R = delta P/delta Q
C = delta V/delta P

Time constance = delta V/ delta Q

take 3-5 TC for relatively complete inspiratory or expiratory phase. （or 3x TC to reach 95% equilibrium)

long TC = slow filling/emptying
(i.e. BPD, LGA w. normal lung)

Healthy infant TC = ~ 0.12s.
for RDS = ~ 0.05s.

larger animals has more compliance and higher time constance => larger baby, need longer iTime.

Q

Fick’s Equation of diffusion

A

dQ/dt = k * A * dC/dl

49
Q

how to calculate alveolar minute ventilation

A

alveolar minute ventilation = alverolar tidal volume * RR
VTalv = Vt - Vds

MValv = VTalv * RR = VtRR - VdsRR
MV = Vt * Rate

50
Q

Alveolar-arterial gradient (A-a gradient)

A

PAO2 - PaO2 = FiO2 x (PB - PH2O) - PaCO2 / R - PaO2

PAO2 = FiO2 x (PB - PH2O) - PaCO2 / R

R = 0.8 (respiratory quotient)
PB = 760 mmHg (atmosphere), barometric pressure
PH2O = 47 mmHg

higher A-a gradient, poorer gas exchange
A-a gradient > 600 for 4-12 hours indicates need for ECMO

51

P is the pressure
T is surface tension
R: radius

55
Q

Jensen BPD criteria (2019)

A

No longer based on O2 requirement.
Low flow (< / = 2L), grade 1
High flow to nimv (> 2L) : grade 2
Intubate: grade 3

56
Q

does antenatal BMZ reduce BPD

A

No.

antenatal steroid helps mature the fetal lung primarily by decreasing the amount of mesenchymal tissue and increase potential airspace volumes.
These anatomic changes result in an arrest in alveolar (saccular) septation.

Also postnatal steroid arrest alveolar septation and microvascular development.

57

(need to work on it)

A

Three pathways to drop PVR:

  • Prostacyclin (PGI2)
    COX pathway
    cAMP (milrinone block PDE 3A, which break down CAMP, cleared by kidney)
  • Nitric Oxide (NO)
    cGMP (sildenafil block PDE 5, which breaks down cGMP, induces CYP, cleared by liver)
  • Endothelin (vasoconstrictor)
    Blocked by bosentan
59
Q

PaO2 > ? number can avoid hypoxic vasoconstriction

A

PaO2 >/= 50mm Hg will avoid hypoxic vasoconstriction

60
Q

PVR and its relationship to lung volume

A

PVR is lowest at FRC.
PVR increases at both high and low lung volumes

High lung volume:
- large vessel distend (resistance low)
- capillaries compress (resistance high)
- net effect: higher PVR (capillary compression wins out)

Low lung volume:
- positive intrapleural pressure
- capilaries dilated (resistance low)
- large vessels compressed
- net effect: higher PVR (large vessel compression wins out)

Q

what is “new BPD”

A

Arrest in alveolarization or altered lung development

elevated pulmonary vascular resistance in fetus is mediated by what chemicals

A

arachidonic acid, LOX, CYP 450, Isoprostanes, Endothelin, serotonin

93
Q

bugs in neonatal pneumonia

A

Early: GBS, E. Coli, Klebsiella, Listeria (fetal diarrhea)
*Late: add S. aureus, Pseudomonas, fungal, chlamydia
*Prematurity: Ureaplasma(worse BPD) –> cause of chorio

also common in asphyxia (due to gasping)

94
Q

why is meconium aspiration associated with air trapping

A

because meconium stick to wall of bronchiole and hard for air to get out.

95
Q

oxygen consumption

A

Ox consumption = V (dot) O2 = cardiac output x Hgb x (arterial O2 sat – venous O2 sat)

96
Q

effect of PaO2 on PVR

A

PaO2 below 50 mmHg, increase hypoxic vasoconstriction and increase PVR

97
Q

effect of PVR with acidosis

A

PVR increases with worsening acidosis

98
Q

sail sign on CXR

A

pneumomediastinum

99
Q

pneumothorax is air between what

A

air between parietal and visceral pleura

100
Q

what’s pulmonary interstitial empysema

A

premie with RDS. air leaks to interrstitial space. use HFV, reduce iTime and MAP

101
Q

CDH and brochopulmonary sequestration

A

they are associated

102
Q

The relationship of pressure and zones in the lung. PA, Pa, PV

Neonate operate at what zone

A

Zone I: PA > Pa > Pv
Zone II: Pa > PA > Pv
Zone III: Pa > Pv > PA
Zone IV: Pa > Pv

zone III

Can be at zone II or zone I during air trapping.

103
Q

V/Q and alveolar ventilation

A

V/Q is matched to alveorlar ventilation (VA) –> VA/Q
VA = (TV - dead space) x RR
PaCO2 is proportional to VA.
if double VA, PaCO2 halves

VA = alveolar ventilation

104
Q

V/Q = 0
V/Q < 1
V/Q > 1

A

V/Q = 0:
Anatomic shunt. VA = 0, Q is normal.

V/Q <1:
Intrapulmonary shunt. VA low. Q normal.

V/Q > 1:
VA= normal. Q = low or none.

V/Q = infinity:
anatomic dead space
Q is zero

105
Q

CO2 elimination and relationship to tidal volume in HFV

A

CO2 elimination is proportional to TV^2 in HFOV

106
Q

Bohr Effect:

Haldane Effect

A

Bohr effect: CO2 and H+ affect the affinity of the hemoglobin for oxygen.
Co2 bind, facilitate o2 unload. Oxygen delivery to tissue

Haldane effect is a phenomenon where an increase in PaO2 reduces the affinity of the hemoglobin to CO2

Gibbs-Donnan: the behavior of charged particles near a semi-permeable membrane that sometimes fail to distribute evenly across the two sides of the membrane.

Chloride shift: the movement of Cl(-) from the plasma into erythrocytes as blood moves from the arterial to the venous end of systemic capillaries.

107

A

chest wall compliance: low
lung compliance: high.

109
Q

how does Na-K-ATPase pump help with fluid re-absorption?

A

establish Na gradient from alveolar lumen to respiratory cell.

located in basolateral cell membrane. transport Na from respiratory into the interstitium in exchange for K.
