Q

Describe the complications of emphysema

A

Emphysema causes a reduced in gas exchange and so there is vasoconstriction.
Fibrosis can then occur on these vasoconstricted capillaries and reduce blood flow further.
If emphysema affects a large area then pressure builds up in the heart, this can cause cor pulmonale, this causes build up in the veins, leading to peripheral oedema and raised JVP.
Decrease in the flow of the blood increases its thickness of the blood also increased in all of this making it even harder to pump the blood around the body.
All of this results in hypoxia.

Q

How does Asthma affects alveolar oxygen levels ?

A

It is an obstructive condition so there are problems getting air out of the lungs. There is air in the lungs but there is a reduced in alveolar ventilation and alveolar dead space.
