Review <3 <3 Flashcards
which cause of hypoxemia is NOT responsive to O2?
SHUNT
what are causes of hypoxemia with normal A-a?
decreased Patm (high altitude) decreased FiO2 (fires, mining) increased PaCO2
what are causes of hypoxemia with increased A-a?
shunt (perfusion without ventilation) decreased V/Q diffusion limitation
examples of shunt
blood, pus, water, atelectasis intracardiac (PFO, ASD, AV malformation) ARDS diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, pneumonia, pulm edema
examples of decreased V/Q
COPD (chronic bronchitis) asthma pE
examples of diffusion limitation
fibrotic lung disease emphysema
what are the 4 causes of low SvO2?
decreased CO anemia hypoxemia (send out less = less back) increased O2 consumption
what makes low DLCO
emphysema
ILD
PAH
anemia
R –> L intracardiac shunt
what makes high DLCO
polycythemia
DAH
L –> R intracardiac shunt
obesity
causes of increased PaCO2?
low minute vent:
- won’t breathe (head injury, stroke, ICH, CNS infection, CNS depressant drugs, obesity, hypothyroidism)
- can’t breathe: (neuromuscular disease- ALS, chest wall deformities, obstructive and restrictive lung diseases)
load/strength imbalance
increased dead space: PE, emphysema
decreased PaCO2 will cause what acid base disturbance? what can cause that?
resp alkalosis (increased minute vent)
drugs, fever, sepsis, pain/anxiety, mild resp dz, pregnancy, cirrhosis/liver failure, salicylate toxicity
what are 3 important points on oxyhb dissociation curve?
what vessels are interlobular? which are intralobular?
interlobular: pulmonary veins and lymphatics
intralobular: pulmonary arteries
what is UIP pattern on CT? what does it suggest (although doesn’t confirm!)
honeycombing, traction bronchiectasis, basilar predominant, subpleural, reticulation
IPF
what is UIP pattern on path?
temporal and spatial heterogeneity
fibroblastic foci
microscopic honeycombing
could be IPF if clinical context is right but NOT diagnostic for IPF
what are radiographic findings of sarcoidosis?
upper lobe
nodules and/or fibrosis in bronchovascular distribution
hilar adenopathy
younger pt
other systemic manifestations
pathologic findings of sarcoid?
well formed granulomas
what is on ddx for granulomas
sarcoid
HP
MTB
endemic fungal infections (histo, blasto)
ARDS is ____ pressure, _____ protein
low pressure, high protein
what are criteria for ARDS?
hypoxemic respiratory failure (low PaO2/FiO2)
bilateral opacities on CXR
not HF
within 7 days of inciting event
pathologic correlate for IPF
UIP
pathologic correlate for ARDS
