begin to degranulate
27
what happens when platelets degranulate in pulm embolism
rls of mediators
28
what does mediator rls in pulm emb cause
constr of brachial and pulm a
29
why is V affected in VP in pulm emb
bronchial constr
30
what does hemodynamic instability
blood vol, BP, blood flow
31
what type of broncho constr occurs in pulm emb
reflexive
32
what causes reflexive broncho constr
n. reflex by SNS
33
what is the benefit of reflexive broncho constr
no benefit
34
why does CO dec in pulm emb
dec blood flow to LS of heart dt obstr-> dec circulation
35
what happens to surfactant prod in pulm emb. why
dec bc adeq perf is needed for surfactant to form
36
what happens when there is dec surfactant
atelectasis
37
mechanism of dec surfactant prod
ischemia rt dec perf -> tissue damage -> dec surf
38
why does RS HF occur in pulm embol
RS is pumping against resistance -> hypertrophy of RV
39
what are mnfts of pulm emboli based on
location of embolis and size
40
mfnts of pulm embolism
chest pain tachypnea dyspnea tachycardia
41
why may chest pain occur in pulm embolism
rt ischemia
42
why may tachypnea occur in pulm embolism
rt bronchospasm??
43
when does dyspnea occur in pulm embolism
if there is tissue damage
44
why does dyspea occur in pulm ebolism
dec sa for GE
45
why does tachycardia occur in pulm embolism
rt dec CO
46
is inc HR in pulm ebol compesnatory
YES
47
dx for pulm embolism
``` hx, px ABG LDH3 Lungscan CXR, CT angiogram ```
48
which dx test for pulm embolism is most affectve
angiogram, but it is also the most invasive
49
LDH3
lactase dehydrogenase
50
fx of LDH3
ez that is released when there is tissue damage in lung damage (serum marker) 3 is lung spec
51
what is the complete name for lung scan
lung scan 131 I-HSA, IV
52
"HSA" in lung scan 131 I-HSA
stands for human serum albumin
53
what is HSA labeled with when doing lung scan
With iodine 131, an isotope.
54
fx of a lung scan
to label :HSA and visualize its movement thru the pulm circulation.
55
how is a lung scan done
injected IV and then visualized. non invasive
56
Tx for pulm embol (stat)
size dependent anticoagulants and thrombolytics maintain CV fx
57
when do we use caution with anticoag and thrombolytics
in pts who are at risk for bleeding
58
why do we maintain CV fx when txing pulm embol
to avoid shock
59
pulm htn
htn within pulm circuit that is pathologic and is sustained a
60
what measurement indicates pulm htn
>25mmHg
61
normal mmhg for pulm circuit
~15mmhg
62
what allows the pulm circuit to handle inc CO
low P, low resistance circuit, where blood is distributed over extensive vasculature
63
when is inc CO a problem for the pulm circuit
when there is resistance in the ciruit
64
3 cats of et for pulm htn
inc pulm vol (rt septum defect) hypoxemia inc pulm venous p
65
et for pulm htn: inc pulm vol
fetal septum between RA and LA doesnt fully close, so blood can move into RA from LA and go into pulm circuit again, inc Co
66
et for pulm htn: hypoxemia
hypoxic lung tissue vaso constricts to prevent mass rls of CO2 causing inc resistance
67
what does hypoxic peripheral tissue do
vasodilates vessels to remove excess CO2
68
what may cause inc in pulm venous P
LV dysfx -> LSHF
69
top 3 mnfts of pulm htm
dyspnea, syncope, chestpain on excertion
70
what other mfnts occur in pulm htn
those of RSHF rt RV pumping against resistance | fatigue
71
what do you see on a cxr of a pt with pulm htn
RS v hypertrophy prior to HF
72
tx of pulm htn
tx cause dec progression vasodilation w CA channel blocker
73
ARDS
str damage to cap wall and alveoli rt trauma of lung. gross, fatal, and rapid damage with acute onset
74
mortality in ards
40-60%
75
et of ards
``` aspiration (near drowning/GI content) drugs (recreational) inhaled gas or smoke infc (septic) trauma/shock (burns, fat embolism, chest trauma) inc blood transfusions ```
76
why is there and inc in perm in ards
rt pathologic accum of cells lt mediator rls
77
what mediators are rlsed inards
proteases, PAF
78
what type of exudate is rls in ards
protein rich
79
what does the protein rich exudate rlsed in ards cause
non permiable membraine forms on alveoli wall, no exch occurs
80
what does inc perm in ards allow
fluid, protein, cellular debris, platlets, blood cells to move out of vasculature and enter alveoli
81
what happens to neutrolphils in ards
rls free radicals, phospholipids, proteases
82
what happens when free radicals, phospholipids and proteases are rlsd in ards
endothelial and alveolar damage, imfl
83
how/why do proteins, cells and fluids enter alveoli in ards
inc permeability rt inflm creates larger cell junctions, allowing entrance of larger components
84
what type of edema occurs in ards
large vol with variety of components
85
what does large vol edema do in ards
dec compliance, vent, and GE
86
hyaline memb
imprevious layer that forms in ards blocking all GE
87
why is the term hyaline used in hyaline memb
because the memb has a shiny appearance
88
why does atelec occur in ards
def and inactivated surfactanct
89
what is detected in abg in ards
profound hypoxemia
90
when do mnfts for ards appear
within minutes
91
5 earliest mfnts of ards
``` dyspnea hypoxemia on abg tahcypnea resp alkilosis late metb acidosis ```
92
why does tachypnea occur in ards
compensatory response in attempt to deliver more air to lungs
93
why does resp alkilosis occur in ards
inc RR lt dec CO2. bicarbonate inbody picks up more H to make CO2, causing alkilosis
94
why does late metb acidosis occur in ards
inc lactic acid prod lt inc H+ in blood, rt anaerobic resp dt hypoxemia
95
6th mnft of ards
diffuse consolodation
96
tx of ards
``` complex early detection has better prognosis reverse cause resp support avoid complications ```
