Q

Factors that ⬆️ closing volume (6)

A

CLOSE-P

  1. COPD
  2. LV failure
  3. Obesity
  4. Surgery
  5. Extremes of age
  6. Pregnancy
31
Q

Calculate time until patient desaturates

A

Time until desat = FRC / VO2

32
Q

Consequences of aging on lung volumes and capacities (4)

A
  1. Increased FRC
  2. Increased CC
  3. Increased RV
  4. Decreased VC
33
Q

Oxygen content formula

A

Measure of how much O2 is present in 1 deciliter (100 mL) of blood

CaO2 = (1.34 x Hgb x SaO2) + (PaO2 x 0.003)

Reference value = 20 mL O2/dL

34
Q

Oxygen delivery equation

A

Oxygen delivery tells us how fast a quantity of O2 is delivered to tissues

DO2 = CaO2 x CO x 10

Reference value = 1,000 mL O2/min

35
Q

Oxygen consumption equation

A

Oxygen consumption is the difference between the amount of O2 that leaves the lungs and the amount of O2 that returns to the lungs

VO2 = CO x (CaO2 - CvO2) x 10

Reference value = 250 mL/min or 3.5 mL/kg/min

36
Q

2 Ways that O2 is transported in the blood

A
  1. Reversibly binds to Hgb (97%)
  2. Dissolves in the plasma (3%)
37
Q

Normal Hgb and HCT

A

Male: 15 g/dL and 45%

Female: 13 g/dL and 39%

38
Q

Oxygen is ______x less soluble than CO2

A

20x

39
Q

8 things that cause a left shift (decreased P50/increased affinity for O2) in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve:

A
  1. Alkalosis (increased pH)
  2. Decreased temperature
  3. Decreased 2,3-DPG
  4. Decreased CO2
  5. Decreased H+
  6. Fetal Hgb / Hgb F
  7. Methemoglobin / HgbMet
  8. Carboxyhemoglobin / HgbCO
40
Q

5 things that cause a right shift (increased P50/decreased affinity for O2) in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve:

A
  1. Acidosis (Decreased pH)
  2. Increased temperature
  3. 2,3 DPG
  4. Increased CO2
  5. Increased H+
41
Q

Bohr effect describes ______ carriage…

A

Oxygen

The Bohr effect says that CO2 and decreased pH cause the erythrocytes to release O2.

42
Q

Haldane effect describes ______ carriage…

A

CO2

The Haldane effect says that O2 causes the erythrocytes to release CO2 (deoxygenated blood can carry more CO2)

43
Q

Hypercapnia = PaCO2 > _______

A

> 45 mmHg

44
Q

3 Causes of hypercapnia:

A
  1. Increased CO2 production
  2. Decreased CO2 elimination
  3. Rebreathing
45
Q

Respiratory pacemaker is the _________________________

A

Dorsal respiratory center

(Recent evidence says the pre-Botzinger complex which the DRG is a part of)

46
Q

Nerves that makes up the afferent limb of the carotid bodies

A

Herring’s nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN 9)

47
Q

Peripheral chemo receptors in the carotid bodies primarily respond to __________

A

PaO2
