Q

What is the effect of hypoxemia on the cardiac system?

A

-initially it enhances the peripheral chemical drive to breath and increases heart rate
-profound hypoxemia depresses neural function leading to bradycardia refractory to autonomic influence

Q

What is the rate that PaCO2 increases during respiratory arrest? What is the significance of this?

A

-during first apneic minute builds by 6-9mmHg
-after that increases by 3-6mmHg per minute
-this show rise in PaCO2 means life threatening hypoxemia occurs much more slowly compared to life threatening respiratory acidosis

A

Difference between mean aortic pressure and right atrial pressure

33
Q

51
Q

On the oxygen dissociation curve, what can cause a left shift?

A

left shift indicates increased Hgb affinity for oxygen and an increased reluctance to release oxygen

-alkalosis
-decrease pCO2
-decreased 2,3-disphosphoglycerate
-Hgb-f

52
Q

On the oxygen dissociation curve, what can cause a right shift?

A

right shift indicates that Hgb has a decreased affinity for oxygen (so off loaded more easily)
-hyperthermia
-acidosis

-increased 2,3-disphosphoglycerate
-Hgb-SS

53
Q

What is the pathophysiology behind neurogenic shock?

A

sudden loss of sympathetic tone w/ preserved parasympathetic activity and autonomic instability
-systemic hypotension d/t decreased sympathetic fiber-mediated arterial and venous vascular resistance w/ venous pooling and loss of preload

54
Q

What level of spinal cord injury is most typically associated with neurogenic shock?

A

an injury to the cord above T6

55
Q
