Look at the slides 5-13/1
.
What are the 5 predisposing factors for decreasing functional residual capacity?
– Positional changes. – Fasting. – Rumen or gastrointestinal distention. – Species. – Pregnancy.
What the mechanisms that can decrease functional residual capacity? (3)
– Atelectasis (lung collapse).
– Increased thoracic or abdominal blood volume
– Loss of diaphragm tone at end exhalation.

KNOW THESE 4
What are the four types of hypoxia?
(WILL BE ON EXAM, KNOW/MEMORIZE THEM!!!!!!!!!!)
– Hypoxic hypoxia.
– Anemic hypoxia.
– Circulatory hypoxia.
– Histotoxic hypoxia
What is the definition of hypoxia?
Abnormally low partial pressure of O2 in tissues. From low oxygen delivery (D02)= CO x CaCO.
What is the definition of hypoxemia?
Abnormally low partial pressure of 02 in arterial blood (Pa02< 60mmHg)
What are the five causes of hypoxemia?(All are assoc. w/ hypoxic hypoxia)
– Hypoventilation – low fractional inspired oxygen concentration – ventilation perfusion mismatch – anatomical shunt – diffusion impairment
What can cause hypoventilation? (4)
*inverse relationship between Va and PaCO2
– anesthetics which depresses Central Drive – damage to chest wall – paralysis of respiratory muscles – high resistance to breathing (slide 17/1)
What is apparatus dead space? What is the issue this?
Apparatus dead space is the space that is taken by the breathing apparatus and doesn’t reach the animal. The issue is that you need to calculate for apparatus densities when figuring out the tidal volume for an animal so it gets full ventilation.
How do you minimize the apparatus dead space?
Can cut the tube
What is functional residual capacity?
Volume of gas remaining in lungs after normal expiration.
Do all patients that hypoventilate become hypoxic?
No
What is hypoventilation?
When you slow/stop breathing.
With a perfusion mismatch in zone one, what would you expect to see? (3)
*collapse
- Alveolar dead space
ventilation
- Lung is ventilated but not perfused
- Normally small component in awake healthy animals
With a perfusion mismatch in zone two and three, what would you expect to see?
*2:waterfall 3:Distention
- Vertical perfusion
gradient
What would you not expect to see with a low V/Q or inadequate ventilation?
A. Dead space ventilation with extremely low V/Q (shunt)
B. Pulmonary edema
C. Pneumonia
D. Atelectasis
E. Expect to see all of the above
E. Expect to see all of the above
What would you not expect to see with a high V/Q or inadequate ventilation? A. Poor pulmonary perfusion B. Pulmonary thromboembolism C. Expect to see all of the above. D. Wouldn't see any of the above. 
C. Expect to see all of the above.
What does V/Q inequality impair the lung from doing?
It impairs uptake or elimination of all gases by the lung.
Why can your CO2 be easier corrected by increasing ventilation versus your PO2?
CO2 is 20 times more soluble than O2
What is an anatomical shunt, and how does it play a role in hypoxia?
It is an abnormal vascular connection between the small pulmonary artery and vein. This causes a direct addition of venous blood to atrial blood across a defect between the right and left side.
These animals respond poorly to added inspired O2.
Hypoxemia due to an anatomical shunt is more severe when moving from which side to which side?
When moving from right to left.
*It is more common to see a left to right shunt
