16
Q

How to optimize a patient’s ventillation?

A

Keep them upright (gravity).

17
Q

How does surface area and thickness affect the diffusion of O2 through a membrane?

A

Decreased surface area and increased thickness will DECREASE the amount of O2 in the blood

Increased surface area and decreased thickness will INCREASE the amount of O2 in the blood.

18
Q

Perfusion is greatest at the top or base of the lung due to gravity?

What is the ideal Ventilation/Perfusion ratio?

A

Base

.8

19
Q

Myocardial function depends on the coupling of what 2 things?

A

Electrical conduction and mechanical conduction coupling.

20
Q

Define Preload

A

End-Diastolic pressure when the ventricle is filled.

Amount of tension on the muscle when it begins to contract

21
Q

Define Afterload

A

Pressure in the artery leading from the ventricle.

Load against which the muscle exerts its contractile force.

22
Q

If you have a higher preload…

A

You have higher volume of blood in the heart.

23
Q

Large vessels have what characteristics of the tissue generally?

A

elastic connective tissues to withstand larger pressure.

24
Q

Medium to small vessels have more what?

A

Smooth muscle

25
Q

Arterioles regulate what?

A

Blood flow through regional vascular beds (capillaries).

26
Q

What is oncotic pressure?

A

Pressure from proteins to pull water into circulatory system.

27
Q

What is hydrostatic pressure?

A

Pressure from fluid on it’s neighboring walls.

28
Q

How is pressure maintained in the capillary beds through pressure (oncotic vs hydrostatic)?

A

Hydrostatic pressure pushes water away from capillary beds, while oncotic pressure pulls in water due to the higher concentration of proteins that are too large enough to cross over.

Oncotic pressure pulls in, hydrostatic pushes out.

29
Q

Average extraction rate for O2?

A

23%

30
Q

Rate of O2 extraction regulated by what?

A

DEMAND of oxygen, not availability.

31
Q

Factors that alter O2 transport?

A

Normal factors: activity, stresses, anatomical position.

Disease states, infection, medication, fluid imbalance, fever, bedrest.

32
Q

Greatest influence on O2 transport?

A

Gravity.

33
Q

Restricted activity does what to cardiac output, VO2, and OER?

A

Decreases.

34
Q

Loss of gravity will shift fluid where?

A

Towards head and thorax
