Q

List the multiple effects of maternal carbon monoxide on fetal O2 delivery.

A

-lowers maternal O2 content -left shifts maternal dissociation curve so it doesn’t release O2 as well as it should at the placenta -this lowers umbilical venous PO2 -maternal CO diffuses into fetal circulation —CO competes with O2 for Hb binding sites –CO left shifts fetal dissociation curve making it harder for O2 to be delivered to fetal tissue

Q

Why does absorption (resorption) atelectasis happen more readily if someone is breathing a high O2 gas mixture?

A

normally, the N2 gas present in the alveoli slows the collapse of the alveoli. If high content O2 is breathed long enough, it washes out the alveolar nitrogen subsequently removing the protection from collapse that N2 provided.

In panacinar emphysema, the acini are uniformly enlarged, from the level of the respiratory bronchiole to the terminal alveoli. What part of the lung is it often seen in, and what is it strongly associated with?

A

occurs in lower lungs zones and is characteristically seen in patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency who do not also smoke.

137
Q

What’s the normal mixed venous blood PO2?

A

40 mmHg

138
Q

What are four factors that determine venous P02?

A

1) metabolic demand 2) blood flow to the tissue 3) arterial PO2 4) shape of O2 dissociation curve of whole blood

139
Q

How do you prevent and treat respiratory distress syndrome that is caused by lack of sufficient surfactant?

A

Prevention: glucocorticoid therapy to mom before birth

treatment: synthetic surfactant applied to lungs soon after birth

140
Q

What’s the normal saturation of mixed venous blood?

A

75% sat

141
Q

Where do thymomas occur?

A

anterior mediastinum

142
Q

Centriacinar (centrilobular) emphysema occurs when only the central or proximal parts of the acinus (group of alveoli connected to a respiratory bronchiole) are affected, and the distal alveoli are spared. What part of the lung is it often seen in, and what is it strongly associated with?

A

often seen in the upper lobes of the lungs and is associated strongly with cigarette smoking (‘smoke rises’)

143
Q

What sort of granulomas are formed in sarcoidosis?

A

non-necrotizing granulomas

144
Q

young, African-American female=

A

sarcoidosis

145
Q

In a spontaneous pneumothorax, will the trachea deviate towards or away from the side of the lung collapse?

A

toward the side of the lung collapse (tracheas are cool w/ spontaneity, not tension)

146
Q

What’s maternal arterial blood PO2 and %Sat?

A

95mmHg, 98%

147
Q

DVT predisposition is defined by Virchow’s Triad as:

A

-venous stasis -activation of blood coagulation -vascular endothelial damage

148
Q

Equation for vital capacity?

A

VC= TV + IRV + ERV

149
Q

Where do cells that have cilia terminate?

A

respiratory bronchioles

150
Q

Equation for total lung capacity:

A

TLC= IRV + TV + ERV + RV

151
Q

What part of the diaphragm will the septum transversum form?

A

will form the central tendon of the respiratory diaphragm

152
Q

Which medullary respiratory center is active during expiration and inspiration?

A

ventral respiratory group (VRG)

153
Q

Which medullary respiratory center is active only during inspiration?

A

dorsal respiratory group (DRG)

154
Q

What part of the lung is effected by silicosis?

A

upper lobe

155
Q

What’s the equation for airflow?

A

airflow= (Pmouth - PA)/R (pressure in mouth minus alveolar pressure) divided by resistance

156
Q

What’s the normal oxygen content of blood?

A

20 ml/dL

157
Q

At what Left atrial pressure will you start to see pulmonary edema develop?

A

>25mmHg

158
Q

What’s the gold standard for diagnosing symptomatic DVT?

A

duplex scanning (combination of Doppler and real time ultrasound)

159
Q

What is resorption atelectasis?

A

occurs when an obstruction, such a mucous plug, foreign body, or tumor, prevents air from reaching distal airways. The entrapped air is slowly resorbed, leading to the collapse of the alveoli.

160
Q

What cell types end at the beginning of terminal bronchioles?

A

goblet cells, glands, cartilage

161
Q

What Wells score total shows a high risk for PE?

A

>6

162
Q

What does silicosis increase a patient’s risk for?

A

increase susceptibility to TB and bronchogenic cancer

163
Q

What are dust cells?

A

alveolar macrophages

164
Q

Type II pneumocytes are characterized by ____.

A

lamellar bodies that Exocytose Surfactant onto the Alveolar Luminal Surface
