A

Normal: 80-100
Mild hypoxemia: 60-79
Moderate hypoxemia: 40-59
Severe hypoxemia: < 40

44
Q

Signs and symptoms of hypoxia

A

50 to 60 mm Hg = mild nausea, lightheadedness, and dizziness and increase in minute ventilation.

35 to 50 mm Hg = mental confusion.

  • <35 mm Hg = decreased renal blood flow and cardiac conduction disturbances.
  • <25 mm Hg = loss of consciousness and respiratory center depression.
45
Q

(VA/QC = infinity).
* Normal ventilation but no perfusion.

A

Absolute dead space

46
Q

(VA/QC < infinity but > 1)
* Normal ventilation with decreased blood flow.

A

Relative dead space

47
Q

; (Right-to-left shunt);

A

Anatomical shunt

48
Q

Bronchial systemic veins (carrying deoxygenated blood) emptying directly
into the pulmonary veins (carrying freshly oxygenated blood).

A

Normal anatomical shunt

49
Q

Ventricular septal defect: Septum separating the right and left ventricles
has a large hole, allowing deoxygenated right ventricular blood to mix
with oxygenated left ventricular blood.

A

Abnormal anatomical shunt

50
Q
  • Best known index of oxygen-transfer efficiency.
  •  A-a gradient =  physiological shunting.
A

: (A-a difference);

51

(VA/QC = 0)
* Ventilation ceases but perfusion is normal.

A

Absolute shunt

57
Q

(VA/QC > 0 but < 1)

ratio progressively ____ from the lung base to the lung apex in the upright lung.

A

Increases

62
Q

<1 but >0) is the most common cause of ___

A

Hypoxemia

63
Q
  • VA /QC mismatch is also called a ____ ___

A

0.8 for the
lung as a whole.

68
Q

What is the basic defect of a disease
that causes intrapulmonary

A

Any condition that causes alveoli to become airless creates shunt.

69
