Q

How does infection increase the respiratory rate?

A

Infection causes faster metabolism → need to burn more/ need energy in the face of infection → so pulmonary system also compensates because body needs more oxygen → thus ↑ respiratory rate

23
Q

How does heart failure affect the respiratory system (inc difficulty in breathing?

A

Left side of the heart fails to pump → damming of blood in left ventricle → damming in left atrium → blood and fluid will go back upstream to pulmonary bed causing it to be flooded → low oxygenation → compromised O2 and CO2 exchange (in the capillary beds) → hypoxemia → difficulty breathing → ↑ respiratory rate

Q

Type of Dyspnea that begins or increases when the pt lies down; gets the feeling of being drowned

A

Orthopnea

36
Q

Orthopnea

In upright position, there is less venous return to the heart as compared to a lying position because?

A

Gravity is eliminated thus more blood return to the heart.

37
Q

The blood that cannot be pumped by the system will go where to cause orthopnea?

A

It will just upstream to the pulmonary bed
