Q

salicylate poisoning timeline?

A

(1) <12 hr= respiratory alkalosis
(2) >12 hr= respiratory alkalosis w/ metabolic acidosis (gap)

so pH will look normalish, w/ decreased PCO2 (more decreased than expected w just metabolic acidosis) and decreased bicarb

Q

transplant patient + pneumonitis + owl’s eye

A

17
Q

whats the most effective anti-inflammatory treatment for asthma which can also decrease mucus production

A

glucocorticoids

18
Q

causes of decreased lung compliance (3)

A
  • Left Heart Failure
  • lack of surfactant
  • pulmonary fibrosis
19
Q

secondary bacterial pneumonia
occurs after?
most common culprits?

A
  • after infection with influenza A

- – S. penumo, S. Aureus, H INfluenzae can cause pneumonia

20
Q

lung abcess treatment

A

Clindamycin

21
Q

Cheynes Stokes breathing, what disease?

A

CHF

22
Q

when is airway pressure 0 and intrapleural pressure -5

A

FRC

23
Q

second hand smoke puts kiddos at risk for

A

low birth weight
sudden infant death syndrome
otitis media
asthma

24
Q

what activates eosinophils (ex: in asthma)

A

TH2 cells releasing IL5

25
Q

both PE and high altitude show what blood chemistries?

A

hypoxemia

respiratory alkalosis

26
Q

red thick capsule on mucimarine stain?

A

Cryptococcus Neoformans

27
Q

patients with CF produce sweat with high concentrations of what?

A

Cl

and Na

28
Q

why is it a bad idea to give people with COPD VERY high levels of O2

A

it can increase the V/Q mismatch
increases in oxygen will cause vasodilation and shunt blood to alveolar dead space— causing an increasein physiologic dead space

29
Q

“honeycombing” in lungs

A

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

30
Q

what causes tracheal deviation towards the affected side?

A

lung collapse- ex– main stem bronchus obstruction

31
Q

how does aging affect the lung?

A
  • decrease in chest wall compliance
  • increase in lung compliance
  • total increase in residual volume, decrease in FVC, and the total lung capacity stays the same
32
Q

branching gram positive organisms

A

Nocardia

33
Q

what does obesity do to lungs?

A

restrictive lung disease patterns
you will notice a much lower ERV.. and therefore a lower FRC (ERV+RV)
note that RV stays more or less the same
FEV1, FVC, and TLC may also go down slightly

34
Q

hemosedrin laden macrophages in lungs=

A

“heart failure cells”
