what is Pasteur Point
when PO2 too low and oxid phosphorylation and O2 consumption drops
26
what helps determine cause of hypoxemia ranges

27
which causes of hypoxemia would show normal A-a gradient which show a widened A-a gradient
normal gradient b/c O2 decr to all alveoli 1) high altitude 2) hypoventilation widened A-a gradient 1) diffusion problems 2) V/Q mismatch 3) shunt
28
what defines hypoxemia (values for PaO2) at sea level at Denver
29
How do you measure PaO2 PAO2
PaO2 = directly PAO2 = Estimated from PaCO2 (inverse relationship btwn PAO2 and PACO2 in alveoli) ``` PACO2 = PaCO2 PAO2 = PIO2 - (PACO2/R) ```
30
Causes of hypoxemia
1. Low PO2 in the inspired air (ex. altitude) 2. Low PAO2 --> Hypoventilation (reduced VA) ---> reduces alveolar oxygen by increasing alveolar PACO2 3. Diffusion problem between the alveoli and capillaries 4. V/Q mismatch 5. Shunt
31
what helps determine cause of hypoxemia ranges
A-a gradient (alveolar - arterial pressure gradient for O2)
32
which causes of hypoxemia would show normal A-a gradient which show a widened A-a gradient
normal gradient b/c O2 decr to all alveoli 1) high altitude 2) hypoventilation widened A-a gradient 1) diffusion problems 2) V/Q mismatch 3) shunt
33
how do you distinguish shunts, V/Q mismatch and diffusion problems as causes of hypoxemia
have patient breathe 100% O2 to separate diffusion vs. V/Q mistmatch measure DLCO for diffusion limitations

Low O2 at tissue more general term that causes low O2 in tissue
38

1) CO2 freely dissolved gas = 1.2 mM = alphaCO2 x PaCO2 = 0.03 x 40 2) bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) = 24 mM hydration of gas CO2 (CO2 + H2O H2CO3 HCO3- + H 3) Carbamino compounds = 1.2 mM bound to proteins (mainly Hb)
42
How does carbon monoxide cause hypoxia
``` CO compete out O2 on Hb and bind more tightly and slow unbinding of CO from O2 and causes O2 bind more tightly to other existing binding sites decr O2 unloading decr SaO2 decr CaO2 decr DO2 ```
