Hypoxia: cells not getting enough O2
Hypoxemia: not enough O2 in blood
28
Discuss V/Q matching in lung
```
Apex:
- Large alveoli with poor blood flow = V/Q >1
- PA>Pa>Pv
Mid zone:
- V/Q = 1------ Pa>PA>Pv
```
Base:
V/Q PvP>PA
29
To optimize V/Q how do u position a patient in unilateral lung disease?
- Bad lung up b/c perfusion is better in the dependent part of the lung.
30
What is ventilation like in restrictive diseases
Reduced compliance:
| - decrease lung volume causing increase RR + WOB
31
What is the ventilation in obstructive diseases
Increased resistance to airflow:
- higher intra pleural pressures are needed to overcome the high airway resistance due to loss of elastic recoil and alveoli destruction
32
What determines the amount of O2 in the blood?
- Hb saturation: Carrying capacity
| - SO2: Saturation of Hb with O2 (how much of the carrying capacity is being used)

51
What is EIB
Increase in airway resistance following rigorous exercise
| - >10% decrease in FEV1 or peak expiratory flow rate occuring maximally at 3-15 to mins after exercise
52
How is EIB diagnosed
- FEV1, PEFR tests
- incremental exercise
- saline or mannitol challenge
- escaping voluntary hyperventilation
53
Signs and symptoms of EIB
SOB, dry cough, wheeze, chest congestion/discomfort, fatigue, decreased exercise tolerance
54
What is hyperosmolarity theory for EIB
Water loss in the airways causes narrowing of airways and creates a wheeze:
- evaporation of water causes increased osmolarit pay of airway and results in mast cell degranulation and release of brochoconstrictor mediators
- with colder air there is less H2O which is why it's more prevalent
55
What are the 3 stages of EIB
1) Early:
- most severe, cough ++, after 80% VO2max 3-8 mins
2) refractory period:
- the chemicals that cause EIB get depleted after being released
- allow the inflammation to subside, then u have 3 hrs where no brochospasm will occur.
3) Late phase:
- less severe symptoms may reoccur hours later.
56
Exercise advice for EIB
- Warm up, intervals/ built in rest periods.
- cover mouth and nose
- self monitor
- try baseball, golf, wrestling, avoid swimming and skiing.
