16
Q

how is CO2 mainly transported in the blood

A

bicarbonate

17
Q

what do parasympathetics do to bronchi

A

contract them = bronchoconstriction

18
Q

which receptor and G protein are responsible for bronchoconstriction

19
Q

which receptor and G protein are responsible for bronchodilation

20
Q

what do sympathetics do to bronchi

A

relax them = bronchodilation

21
Q

resp side effect of steroids

A

hoarse voice

22
Q

if FEV1/FVC is normal but FEV1 and FVC are both reduced, what kind of resp problem does the patient have

example

A

restrictive (both lungs and airways are fuckoed)

pneumonia

23
Q

if FEV1/FVC is reduced bc FEV1 is reduced but FVC is normal, what kind of resp problem does the patient have

example

A

obstructive (FVC is normal = lungs are fine, problem is getting to the lungs)

asthma

24
Q

what type of spirometry result does COPD present with

A

restrictive AND obstructive

FEV1 reduced
FVC reduced
FEV1/FVC reduced

25
what type of resp failure has decreased O2 but normal CO2 examples
type 1 pneumonia, ARDS
26
what type of resp failure has decreased O2 and high CO2 example
type 2 COPD DONT GIVE O2!
27
ABGs pH slightly high (low H+) CO2 low HCO3 low what is the problem example
partially compensated respiratory alkalosis hyperventilation, pregnancy, PE
28
ABGs pH low (high H+) CO2 high HCO3 normal what is the problem example
uncompensated respiratory acidosis COPD, asthma, opiate overuse
29
ABGs pH normal (was previously low, high H+) CO2 low HCO3 low what is the problem example
fully compensated metabolic acidosis DKA, acid ingestion, renal failure, peptic ulcer
30
ABGs pH high (H+ low) HCO3 high CO2 normal what is the problem example
uncompensated metabolic alkalosis vomiting, alkali ingestion, vit K deficiency
31
which lung hilum sites higher than the other
left bc of heart
