Q

Heymer test of respiratory reserve

A

In this test the subject takes five deep breaths and then holds their breath as long as possible after the last inspiration. The breath-holding time gives an indication of the person’s functional respiratory reserve and efficiency of their respiratory system. The test is performed 2-3 times and the average is taken.

Q

Why are pulmonary measurements important?

A

Changes is pulmonary measures are caused either by disease or recovery from a disease. For example, the vital capacity is found to decrease in right heart disease. This is due to blood congestion in the lung capillaries, which in turn leads to pulmonary edema and a decrease in VC. As the person recovers, their heart becomes stronger, pulmonary congestion and edema decrease, and the VC increases. The vital capacity also decreases in paralytic polio due to partial paralysis of respiratory muscles, and in various other respiratory diseases

Q

How is tidal volume measured?

A

Tidal volume can be measured by exhaling through a tube connected to a dry gas meter. This meter measures the volume of gas that passes through it (similar to the natural gas meter in your home) and keeps a cumulative total. One can calculate tidal volume by dividing the total air exhaled by the number of breaths made over the collection period.

Q

How is metabolic rate measured?

A

Metabolic rate (measured in ml O2 consumed/min) can be determined by calculating the difference between in the percentage of O2 in inhaled air (20.95%) and the percentage of O2 in exhaled air (measured by the oxygen analyzer), and then multiplying this percentage difference by the volume of air breathed during a measured time span (measured by the dry gas meter)

Q

The rate of oxygen consumption is equal to (2)

A

Q

How are the 2 factors that influence the rate of oxygen consumption measured?

A

Both can be calculated by measuring the flow (ml/min) of the medium (air or blood) and multiplying by the amount of oxygen that is extracted per ml of medium that passes the exchange surface.

A

100%

26
Q

Venous blood oxygen saturation at rest

A

60% saturated

27
Q

How much oxygen can each gram of hemoglobin bind?

A

28
Q

A

Fast respiratory rate

29
Q

Apnea

A

Temporary cessation of breathing

30
Q

A

Resting: 18.24%

During exercise: 18.67%

31

A

20.94% during both

32
Q

A
  1. Tidal volume
  2. Inspiratory reserve volume
  3. Expiratory reserve volume
  4. Residual volume

41

42
Q

SVr

A

Stroke volume at rest

43
Q

SVe

A

Stroke volume during exercise

44
Q

What factors operate during exercise to increase the amplitude and rate of breathing?

A

Skeletal muscle requires more oxygen, so amplitude and rate of breathing increases to compensate due to carbon dioxide concentration

45
Q

What factors elevate cardiac output during exercise?

A

Stroke volume and heart rate

46
Q

How does hyperventilation affect tidal volume and respiratory rate?

A

Tidal volume decreases, respiratory rate decreases

47
Q

Does hyperventilation cause shallow breathing?

A

Breathing is shallow, and apnea can develop depending on the individual.

48
Q

What mechanism is responsible for the effects of hyperventilation?

A

Low carbon dioxide levels increases blood pH, so we need to make adjustments to slow down respiration and get to normal pH.

49
Q

In a closed system, how does hyperventilation change respiratory rate and tidal volume?

A

Respiratory rate and tidal volume will increase after hyperventilation to get rid of excess carbon dioxide, since carbon dioxide is rebreathing during hyperventilation. Apnea won’t develop in a closed system because respiratory rate and tidal volume won’t decrease.

50
Q

During rebreathing, what happens to the respiratory rate?

A

Respiratory rate increases, but the change takes longer to occur since the individual is breathing normally initially.

51
Q

During mental concentration, how does respiratory rate change?

A

Respiratory rate decreases- respiratory centers in lower brain centers are partially depressed

52
Q

How does tidal volume change in response to the change in respiration rate during mental concentration?

A

Tidal volume increases during concentration due to the slower respiratory rate

53
Q

During speech, does the respiratory rate change?

A

Respiratory rate will decrease because you can breathe less frequently while talking- speech is only produced on an exhale.

54
Q

During speech, does the regularity of breaths change?

A

Breaths will become irregular, but the degree of irregularity depends on what you are talking about/how you are speaking

55
Q

What happens to tidal volume after breath holding?

A

Tidal volume increases

56
Q

Why is it impossible to hold your breath indefinitely?

A

Over time you would lose consciousness and start breathing again as it becomes involuntary due to structures in the pons and medulla.

57
Q

What changes are seen in respiratory rate and tidal volume during obstruction of respiratory passageways?

A

Tidal volume increases to compensate for less air, respiratory rate decreases because taking deep breaths takes more time.

58
Q

In what disorders is obstruction of airway passages a problem?

A

COPD and asthma
