Respiratory final Flashcards
Adult larynx location
c3-c6
Larynx level at birth
c4-c5
Normal AO extension
35 degrees
Mallampatis
1- pillars (anterior and posterior tonsillar)
2- uvula
3- soft
3-hard
Which CN are responsible for airway innervation
CN5- Trigeminal (anterior ethmoidal/ opthalmic, maxillary (sphenopalatine), and mandibular(lingual))
CN9- Glossopharyngeal
CNX- SLN/RLN
Airway CN locations
CN5- trigeminal- V1- nares, V2- turbinates, V3- anterior 2/5 tongue
CN9- glosspharyngeal- Posterior 1/3 tongue to the top of the epiglottis
CNX- vagal- SLN IB- Sensory from bottom of epiglottis to above the glottis SLN EX- motor to cricothyroid, RLN- motor below the cords, and motor to all except cricothyroid
Which RLn passes the aortic arch?
L
Narrowest part of adult and kids airway
Adult- glottis
Kids fixed- cricoid ring
Kids dynamic- glottis
How many rings of trachea?
20-25How mny
Cm from teeth to carina
25cm
Where does gas exchange begin
Respiratory bronchioles
Where do impulses to breathe come frmo and go to?
From brainstem (DRG/VRG)
To muscle contraction
Phrenic nerve roots
C345 keep a man alive
Intercostal nerve roots and where they send message to
t1-t11 to external intercostals
What cant spirometry measure?
RV, and thus FRC and TLC,
How to measure FRC and TLC
Helium wash in
Nitrogen washout
Body pleth
Extra vs intra thoracic vs fixed FV loop
Extra- top heavy bc cant breathe in- lesion is high
Intra- bottom heavy bc cant breathe out- lesion is low
Fixed (infra or extra)- square around center0 tracheal stenosis
