27
Q

Which conditions increase dead space?

A

Hypotension (Reduces blood flow)

Atropine (Bronchodilator which increases volume)

Positive pressure ventilation (Increases alveolar pressure)

28
Q

Where is ventilation the greatest in the lung? Perfusion?

A

Both in the BASE of the lung

29
Q

Is CO2 greater in the dependent or nondependent of the lung? What about O2?

A

CO2 -Dependent

O2 - Non dependent

(Because of gas exchange)

30
Q

Normal V/Q mismatch? What is shunt vs dead space?

A

0.8

Shunt - perfusion without ventilation (infinity)

Dead Space- Ventilation without perfusion (0)

31
Q

What is the most common cause of hypoxemia in the PACU?

A

V/Q mismatch - specifically, atelectasis

32
Q

How does the body respond to V/Q mismatch?

A

Zone 1 bronchioles constrict (reduces dead space)

Zone 3 - HPV reduces blood flow by constricting vasculature

33
Q

Is there pulmonary blood flow in Zone 1?

A

No

34
Q

Lung Zones***

A

Zone 1 - Dead space
(PA>Pa>Pv)

Zone 2 - Waterfall
(Pa>PA>Pv)

Zone 3 - Shunt
(Pa>Pv>PA)

Zone 4 - Pulmonary edema
(Pa>Pis>Pv>PA)

PA (alveolar) goes right now in order (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)

35
Q

A

Aging
Vasodilator
R-L shunt
Diffusion limitation

36
Q

Which conditions reduce FRC?

Pulmonary Edema

37
Q

Volumes for

Total Lung Capacity

Inspiratory
FRC
Closing capacity

A

Total Lung Capacity - 5800
VC - 4500
Inspiratory C - 3500
FRC - 2300
Closing capacity - Variable

38
Q

Can spirometry measure TLC?

A

No because it can not measure residual volume

CANT measure

TLC, or FRC, or RV

Also can’t measure Closing volume or capacity

39
Q

How does COPD and PEEP affect FRC?

A

Increases the FRC

Old age and sigh breathes also increase FRC

40
Q

When CC is greater than FRC, what happens?

A
