Q

Fick’s Law

A

Diffusion rate is proportional to tissue area, partial pressure difference, solubility f gas in the tissue
DIffusion rate is inversely proportional to Tissue thickness and square root of molecular weight

27
Q

IPPV

A

Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation

28
Q

PIP

A

Peak Inspiratory Pressure

29
Q

PEEP

A

Positive End-Expiratory Pressure

30
Q

Peak Inspiratory Pressure

A

Pressure achieved at the end if inspiration

31
Q

Positive End-Expiratory Pressure

A

Pressure maintained in airway to prevent alveolar collapse

32
Q

When is a mechanical ventilator required?

A

Equine gas anesthesia

small animal if open thorax, using NMBD or patients with increased ICP

33
Q

What are the disadvantages of IPPV?

A

Normal Inspiration
PPV is not physiologically normal
Decreased blood pressure
Pulmonary damage

34
Q

What are the types of respiratory dysfunction?

A

Airway obstruction
Pulmonary dysfunction
Extrapulmonary dysfunction

35
Q

What should you do for animal with pleural effusion or pneumothorax?

A

Thoracocentesis

36
Q

Brachycephalic airway syndrome

A

Long soft palate
Stenotic trachea
Everted laryngeal saccules
stenotic nares

37
Q

Treatment for hypoxemia

A
resolve any airway obstruction 
Positioning: sternal 
Increase PIP
Consider broncodilator 
PEEP
38
Q

What is the treatment for Equine colic and hypoxemia?

A
No delay in starting IPPV
High PIP
PEEP
Bronchodilator 
Tilt table head up 
Improve cardiac output
Must balance positve pressure ventilation with maintaining BP and CO
O2 delivery dependent on CaO2 and CO
