A

yes
inspire when in flight

79
Q

What would you expect the blood gas changes to be with a unilateral pneumothorax?

A
  • reduced pO2
  • reduced sat%
  • reduced PaO2
  • reduced blood flow to collapsed lung
80
Q

Why would PaO2 decrease with a unilateral pneumothorax?

A

V/Q mismatch as part of lung has no gas exchange

81
Q

What are 5 explanations for reduced PaO2?

A
  • less oxygen in
  • shunting
  • obstructing
  • reduced RR
  • V/Q mismatch
82
Q

Why with a unilateral pneumothorax would SaO2 drop less than PaO2?

A

Think of oxy-hb dissociation curve which isnt a linear relationship

83
Q

Why is there a difference with a unilateral pneumothorax between the fall in arterial(29 mmHg drop) and venous (5mmHg drop) pp of o2 and a similar drop in Hb sat in arterial and venous(both 7%) blood?

A
  • the Hb drop is same for both as tissues will be taking the same (7%) amount of oxygen from the Hb despite the hypoxia
  • there will be less overall O2 so a bigger drop in Pa/v O2
84
Q

Why would blood flow be reduced to a lung on the side of a pneumothorax?

A
  • hypoxia in alveoli causing BV constriction

- any blood will be preferentially redirected to better ventilated alveoli to maintain blood O2

85
Q

Will oxygen supplementation help a patient with a pneumothorax?

A

Yes - as PaO2 will increase so improves tissue perfusion

86
Q

What physiologically processes does altitiude and reduced PaO2 stimulate?

A
  • increase Hb conc so blood has a higher oxygen carrying capacity
  • a left shift caused by blood alkalosis of the oxy-hb dissociation curve so more efficient loading of O2 in the pulmonary capillaries - so less inspired O2 needed for same Hb sat
  • increased RR so more O2 getting into system and being pushing into Hb
87
Q

What are some adaptations to altitude?

A
  • increased rr
  • polycythemia
  • increase in number of capillaries in peripheral tissues
  • hypertrophy of RH from hypoxia
  • increase HB binding ability
88
Q

Does anaemia cause hypoxia?

A

Yes

89
Q

What will the heart do to compensate for anaemia?

A

increase CO

drops to total peripheral resistance

90
Q

will short term oxygen benefit an anaemic patient?

A
  • all Hb already saturated so wont increase CaO2 significantly
  • gives body false sense of security so wont make new RBC
  • its a lack of Hb that is the issue not a lack of O2
  • yes as will decrease CO and put less strain on heart
91
Q

what is PaO2?

A

amount of free oxygen in plasma

92
Q

what is SaO2?

A

% of haem sites carrying oxygen on Hb molecule

93
Q

what is CaO2?

A

amount of oxygen in blood = SaO2+PaO2

94
Q

What pathogens can cause diseases in birds?

A

Chlamydia (psittacosis)
mycoplasma gallisepticum
mycoplasma synoviae
mycoplasma meleagridis
