Respiratory review Flashcards
Age of developent of all four sinuses
Maxillary and Ethmoid: at birth
Sphenoid: within first two years
Frontal: around 6-8 years
Automatic signals that increase respiration
stretch/irritant receptors (dec)
Muscle/joint receptors
Increased CO2/H+ to carotid/aortic or central chemoreceptors
Decreased O2 to carotid/aortic chemoreceptors
How does exercise change breathing?
increases minute ventilation by increasing both tidal volume and respiratory rates
Change in lung volumes in COPD
TLC: inc FRC: inc RV: greatly increased FVC: dec FEV1: dec
Change in compliance and elastric recoil in obstructive lung disease
Compliance: inc (floppy lung)
Elastic: dec (lose elastic fibers)
Change in compliance and elastic recoil in restrictive disease
Compliance: dec (can’t inhale)
Elastic recoil: increased (stiff lungs exhale quickly)
Physiologic factor that stimulate binding to hemoglobin?
cold, high ph, low pCO2
In what population do you see high 2,3 BPG levels (and there fore greater oxygen binding)
people living at high altitudes
What do bronchial breath sounds tell us
fluid or solid in airspace
What does eegophany tell us?
solid: tumor, atelectasis, consolidation pneumonia
Inspiratory wheeze in toddlers
Croup (laryngotracheitis)
Caused by parainfluenza virus
Acute onset of fever or pain
Middle ear effusion
Inflammation
OM
Newborn
heart sounds on right
unilateral lung sounds
Cyanosis after eating
Diaphragmatic hernia
Upper airway obstrucion and noisy breathing
Cyanosis with feeds which improves with crying
Choanal atresia
tachypnea retractions cyanosis in premie newborn Pneumothorax and air leaks
Neonatal respiratory stress syndrome
