Q

Forced Mid-Expiratory flow or FEF 25-75 test

A

A lower FEF 25-75% value (not as a ratio but as an absolute flow rate) suggests obstruction in the smaller airways.

Really bad asthma somewhere between 500-1000mL/s is thought of as a good number

Q

If we have a lung that has a smaller than normal inward recoil, what happens to the pleural pressure?

A

Then that would lead to larger lung volumes- so lose elastance in the lungs- the result is higher lung volumes.. And a more positive pleural pressure, less force pulling in (or less negative)..

Q

CSF pH and CO2

A

CSF pH should be 7.31 (lower than arterial), and CSF PCO2 is 50 mmHg (higher than arterial)

Take care of 85% of blood gas management

CO2 is diffusing into the CSF that is driving up the protons through dissociation.

Q

Peripheral Chemoreceptors

A

Two pairs of carotid bodies, just above the bifurcation of the internal/external carotid arteries.. info sent to glossopharyngeal CN 9 to medulla (brainstem)

3-5 aortic bodies sensory info back to brainstem via Vagus nerve (CN X)… peripheral chemoreceptors looking at H+, CO2, and O2.. Capable of sensing all three but mainly looking at the most is for large changes in O2.. So Peripheral is O2 and central chemoreceptors is CO2 and H+..

Q

ETT limitations:

A

The narrowest part of upper airway is the cricoid cartilage (neonates).. That is what limits size of ETT tube (if bigger then won’t go in)..

In adults or persons older than 14 then that is the opening in-between the cords (trans glottic space- green line) are most narrow space.

30min at 2 atm will give O2 pressure around ? mmHg
1560mmHg. - upper limit of Oxygen poisoning .. O2 causes oxidative, free radical stress
26
O2- Superoxide
Can combine with nitric oxide (NO) to form really toxic compound OONO- (peroxynitrite) , destroys DNA, kills cells, and replication, causes cancer, anti-cancer genes don’t work well..
27
Hydrogen Peroxide:
H2O2: free radical or oxidizing compound.. Not good to have excess
28
Peroxidase
can destroy or make peroxide.. Catalyze interacts w/ hydrogen peroxide.. Acetylcysteine: scavenge free radicals scavenger NAC (liver problems) detox liver..
29

"March a Dime" demylenating disease
30
Age Formula:
(Age + 10)/4 The older the lower PaO2
31
PAO2 = off arterial PaCO2
[(PB-PH20)*FIO2] - (PaCO2/R) or PIO2 – (PaCO2/ R ) normal R is 0.8
32
R =
RQ= Respiratory Quotient: the amount of CO2 produced/ O2 used normal O2 used is 250mL/min and the CO2 produced is about 225mL/min => 0.8
33
RQ with just fats
0.7
34
RQ with just carbs
1
35
Fats for ATP is ? CO2 production
Less CO2 gets used of by formation of water with the metabolism of fats.
36
If burning carbs
If burning carbs, being combined with carbons without excess H+ being produced.. Fats release H+ (somehow form water with O2)
37
RQ for proteins
0.8
38
respiratory exchange ratio (RER)
Measuring gases coming off patient for RQ referred to as respiratory exchange ratio (RER) is actual measurement of gas going in and out of patient. Same thing just different term.
39
Should be about 400mL of O2 in between breaths in the lungs –
(104/760) x 3000mL.. Close to a 2 min supply of oxygen .. We burn 250mL O2/min.. No big deal if don’t take a breath for 2 min..
40
If move our lung volume down to 1L-paralytics
that means we only have 130mL of oxygen (104/760) x 1000mL => 136.84 ... which is less than 1 min of O2 reserve
41
High CO2 then ?
increase in BP and CO
42

43
Normal Venous pH
7.35
44
What is the proton concentration dissolved in arterial blood
0.00004 mEq/L
45
H+ concentration vs Na+ concentration
Na+ is 142 mEq/L so H+ concentration is 3.5 million times less then Na+ concentration in the blood
46
ammonia
NH3 buffer - not extracellular, renal tubular
47
Ammonium
NH4+ buffered the H+ ion, renal tubular
48
KOH
alkaline metal, lithium Strong bases
49
pH is a logarithmic change in the concentration of H+
Each 1 of pH unit change the H+ concentration changes by a factor of ten, pH goes down then H+ increase by factor of 10 concentration in mmol/L
50
pK
the neg log of the dissociative constant for a particular acid/base
51
ASA
Acetylsalicylic Acid (metabolic acidosis)
52
pK of HCO3-
6.0 main extracellular buffer
53
HPO4-
Phosphate compound.. good buffer inside cells, turn things on or off, phosphorylation/dephosph things the cell does to control activity- urinary buffer as well
54
Lowest urinary pH
4.5 body makes 1mL urine/min
55
Other Chemical Buffers:
Larger proteins are also buffers bc of the neg charges within them.. (fastest, works in microseconds- chemical buffers) second fast- resp third - renal
56
Normal bicarb
24 mmol/L book said 20-24 was within normal
57
Compensation:
Respiratory will never fully correct metabolic acidosis but kidneys can do a pretty good job of mitigating chronic resp acidosis like seen with COPD. Resp can correct at best 50-75% of the variance in the pH of the problem.. Kidneys can get it closer, very powerful.
58
Hemorrhage
If missing proteins (hemorrhage) not as much buffering capacity w/ low Hb as we loose blood (Hb) the bicarb level will rise to offset the loss of Hb buffering capacity to maintain a neutral pH as best as possible.
59
Chronic Resp Acidosis
pH low- normal PCO2 high bicarb: high- compensating
60
Acute Resp Acidosis
pH: Low PCO2: high bicarb: normal range 22-26- no time to compensate
61
Acute resp alkalosis
pH: High PCO2: Low bicarb: normal - low cannot really correct, panic attack, at some point pass out from constricting blood flow to brain
62
Chronic Resp Alkalosis:
pH: high-normal CO2: Low - not as low as acute bicarb: low- compensating
63
Metabolic Acidosis
pH: low PCO2: Low- compensating Bicarb: Low lungs good compensator
64
Metabolic Alkalosis
pH: high PCO2: high- compensating Bicarb: high too much tums Resp compensation for alkalosis is much less because hypoxemia trigger breathing
65
Accessory Muscles for breathing
Below C5 control the accessory muscles- (phrenic is C3-C5).. Above C3 you remove all motor output for breathing- accessory muscles (resp acidosis)
66
Resp Alkalosis
Overdose with aspirin (Salicylates) stimulates breathing progesterone over ventilating.. everything else resp acidosis.. fucking up gas exchange or output controllers, obstructions
67
Methanol
Metabolic acidosis converts into formic acid
68
ASA
note that this can cause metabolic acidosis as well.. so look at labs
69
Pancreatic fistula
metabolic acidosis cannot change that pH 2 stomach acid
70
Intestines
Large intestine > alkaline than small
71
Metabolic alkalosis
vomit diuretic therapy steroids- mineral-corticoids (so aldosterone)- creates too much ANG 2 Cortisol looks like aldosterone -> so can stimulate the ANG-2 receptor
72
Ang 2
increase levels: lose H+ (alkalotic) decrease levels: hoDL H+ (acidotic)
73
Diuretics
distal tubule ■ The more Na+ that H+/Na+ exchanger sees, the more H+ they exchange. (secrete) metabolic alkalosis exacerbated by feedback mechanism of increasing ANG II: and reabsorbing more HCO3- and loosing more H+
74
Intercalated Cells- manage acid/base in distal tubule
A-cell: acid (if you are acidotic- how I remember) - reabsorb bicarb B-cell: base (if your a basic bitch) - secrete bicarb

88
hyoid bone horns
2 sets, greater and lesser horns
89
Neutrophil Elastase
is inhibited by alpha1 antitrypsin (protease).. Neutrophil Elastase - will break down elastin molecules and lead to emphysema
90
Chronic Infection
Lungs get smaller if don't clear crap out of lungs, lose alveoli (look emphysematous at some point)
91
pneumonia vs atelectasis (1 lung) blood gas
Pneumonia 1/2: 97%, 1/2: 60% => 78%.. no HPV, shunted blood (larger barrier to diffuse) Atelectasis: 5/6: 97%, 1/6: 60% => 91%.. HPV.. can just be a lobe Pneumonia > problem
92
Irritant receptor
Vagus Nerve CN 10
93
J receptor
juxtaposition to capillaries located in alveoli- too much blood in lungs (heart failure or pneumonia).. doesn't do shit, just makes you feel like it.
94
Pulmonary stretch receptors
Once Vt hits 1.5 - 2L of air they kick in and stop inspiration.
95
● Cheyne-Stokes breathing
Cheyne-Stokes breathing is a type of abnormal breathing pattern characterized by cyclical changes in breathing rate and depth. It usually involves periods of gradual increases in deep breathing followed by periods of apnea (no breathing). 40-60 second cycling time.. This pattern can arise from two main situations: Delayed Oxygen Delivery to the Brainstem: If oxygenated blood takes longer than usual to reach the brainstem due to a cardiovascular issue (like a heart attack or severe blood loss), the brainstem's response to the blood oxygen levels is delayed. This results in prolonged activation of the breathing drive, leading to abnormal breathing patterns as the brainstem continues to adjust to outdated blood gas levels. Brain Damage: Conditions like severe head injuries or the effects of a heart attack can directly damage the brain areas responsible for controlling breathing. This damage can disrupt the normal breathing regulation, leading to the irregular breathing patterns seen in Cheyne-Stokes respiration. In essence, Cheyne-Stokes breathing reflects issues with either the delivery of oxygen to the brainstem or direct damage to the neural centers that regulate breathing. This results in a distorted respiratory drive, causing the typical cyclic breathing pattern of deep breaths followed by periods of apnea.
96
Airflow when paralyzed and supine
Going to go more anterior.. wider gradient.. More neg anterior and more positive posterior gradient, and really low lung volume, not going to get good V/Q ratio (similar to low breathing at RV scenario).. PEEP to fix
97
Last PFT: Body Plethysmography
Boyles law - P1V1 = P2V2 best at estimating trapped gas
