what does RLN innervate sensory?
below vc to trachea
what does external SLN innervate motor?
cricothyroid
stimulation of ____ = laryngospasm
SLN motor
internal SLN sensory area?
above vocal cords and cords
what is the function of the posterior cricoarytenoid?
abduction - please come apart
what is the function of the lateral cricoarytenoid?
adduction - lets close airway
what is the function of the cricothyroid?
tenses vocal cords
CT = cords tense
what is the function of the thyroarytenoid?
relaxes cords
what is the only intrinsic muscle that receives motor innervation from the SLN?
cricothyroid
what nerve provides the sensory innervation for pharynx?
glossopharyngeal
what nerve provides the motor innervation for the pharynx?
spinal accessory
which laryngeal cartilages are paired?
cuneiform, corniculate, arytenoids
which laryngeal cartilages are unpaired?
epiglottis, thyroid, cricoid
which laryngeal cartilage is the only one that has a complete cartilaginous ring?
cricoid
where does the transtracheal block puncture?
cricothyroid membrane
Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve - what does it mean when the curve is shifted to the right?
right = released
O2 is unloaded from blood
hemoglobin has less affinity for O2 and releases it, so saturation will be less for a given PO2
Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve - what causes a right shift
inc PCO2, H+, acidosis (so dec pH), inc temp (think inc metabolism), inc 2,3 DIPG, sickle cell
Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve - what does it mean when the curve is shifted left?
left shift increases O2 affinity.
left = love = locked
hemoglobin has a higher affinity for O2, binds O2, so saturation will be higher for a given PO2.
what is a normal P50?
26-27
Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve - what causes a left shift?
dec PCO2, dec H+, inc ph(alkalosis), dec temp, inc CO poisoning (carboxyhemoglobin), fetal hemoglobin, methemoglobin, smoking
what is the bohr effect
an increase in H+ decreases Hb’s affinity for O2 (right shift).
so this increases the delivery of O2 to tissues
what is the hb p50 point?
Sao2% = 50, PaO2 = 27
