28
Q

How does airway resistance change in inspiration and expiration and why?

A

When flow decreases, airway resistance increases; when flow increases, airway resistance decreases . This is because flow is directly related to airway radius.

29
Q

What is the typical substances that will cause airway constriction

A

????

30
Q

Normal value of airway resistance in normal adults

A

0.5-1.5 cm H2O/L/sec. This is measured at the FRC level at constant flow rate of 0.5L/sec

31
Q

Identify a fixed upper airway obstruction

A

Produces curve that appears box shaped. Both inspiratory and expiratory flows are decreased and limited by the solid obstruction

32
Q

Identify a variable intrathoracity upper airway obstruction

A

Limits inspiratory flow and the Fef50%/FIF50% ratio is greater than 1.0. Produces a flow loop with a high expiratory and a low inspiratory.

33
Q

Identify a variable extrathoracic upper airway obstruction

A

Limits expiratory flow, and the FEF50%/ FIF50% ratio is less than 1.0. Produces a flow loop with a large inspiratory and a low expiratory.

34
Q

What happens to a chest wall/ lung pleura and barometric pressure when a hole is present in the chest wall

A

The subatmospheric pressure within the cavity draws air in from atomosphere because of pressure gradient leads to pneumothorax

35
Q

Name the functions of surfactant in the lungs

A
  1. Decreases surface tension in alveoli

2. Prevents alveolar collapse

36
Q

Surfactant vs. Water

A

Surfactant has a lower surface tension than water

37
Q

What chanves can be expected to be seen with obstructive lung diseases-emphysema

A
  • Decreased FVC
  • Normal FEV1
  • Normal or increased FEV1/FVC ratio
38
Q

What changes can be seen with restrictive lung diseases

A
  • Decreased FVC
  • Decreased FEV1
  • Normal or increased FEV1/FVC ratio
39
Q

What is minute ventilation

A

Volume of air either entering or leaving the lung each minute; air inhaled must be equal to air exhaled each minute. Calcute by RR*VT

40
Q

How is anitomical deadspace measured

A

Fowler technique, patient first exhales maxiamally to residual volume (RV) then takes maximal inhalation of 100% O2 to total lung capacity, then exhales to RV again.

41
Q

What is anitomical dead space?

A

Conducting airways from mouth to nose down to and including terminal bronchioles; no gas exchange occurs here

42
Q

What is alveolar dead space

A

Volume contained in nonperfused alveoli (with no blood flow)

43
Q

Physilogical dead space

A

Sum of anitomical dead space and alveolar dead space

44
Q

Hyperventilation

A

Alveolar ventilation momentarily removes more CO2 per minute than is metabolically produced, alvolar and blood PCO2 decreases

45
Q

Hypoventilation

A

Alveolar ventilation momentarily removes less CO2 than the body produces, alveolar and blood PCO2 increases

46
Q

Hyperpnea

A

Above normal depth of breathing

47
Q

Hypopnea

A

Below normal depth of breathing

48
Q

Tachypnea

A

Rapid and shallow

Residual volume

58
Q

What is the rule of thumb for estimating anatomical deadspace?

What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli?

A

149 mm Hg

61
Q

What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere

A

159 mm Hg

62
Q

What are the Pores of Kohn and Canals of Lambert

A

Collateral air passages that make it possibel for the acinus supplied by mucus plugged bronchiole to receive ventilation from neighboring airways and alveoli.

63
Q

What are the functions of Pores of Kohn and Canals of Lambert

A

Canals of Lambert– Connects terminal bronchioles and nearby alveoli
Pores of Kohn–Connect adjacent alveoli together

64
Q

What is the narrowest part of airway in ADULT

A

Glottis

65
Q

What is the narrowest part of airway in an Infant

A

Cricoid carilage

66
Q

What is ventilation

A

Process of moving gas in and out of the lungs

67
Q

What is respiration

A

Process of moving oxygen and carbon dioxide between air in lungs and the blood

68
Q

What is Laplaces Law

A
If collapsing force of surface tension is opposed by an equal counterpressure, alveolus remains distended.
Distending pressure(P)= 2* surface tension(t)/ Alveolar radius (R)
