Will you hold onto more CO2 with hypo or hyperventilation? What will this lead to?
Hypoventilation; leading to respiratory acidosis
Will hypo or hyperventilation lead to respiratory alkolosis?
Hypo
COPD is characterized by early or late airway closure upon inspiration or expiration?
Early airway closure upon expiration, resulting in hyperinflation
What bony thorax and diaphragm changes occur as a result of COPD?
Increased A-P diameter and a flattened diaphragm
Wheezes vs crackles
Wheezing is usually heard during expiration, caused by pulmonary obstruction (asthma, COPD, foreign body aspiration). Crackles are usually heard during inspiration which indicates pathology (atelectasis, fibrosis, pulmonary edema).
Which pulmonary dysfunction can increase a patients risk for R-sided CHF and why?
Bronchitis
The patient has increased vasoconstriction at the lungs secondary to decreased ventilation; this will cause an increase in pulmonary pressures and lead to R-sided CHF
Which pulmonary condition is caused by chronic infection?
Bronchiectasis
Will a pneumothorax cause the mediastinum to move towards the ipsilateral or contralateral side?
Contralateral side because the increased pressure collapses the lung which pushes the mediastinum to the other side to make more room.
