25
pulmonary fibrosis
``` Low compliance high elasticity high recoil force rapid, shallow breathing shorter expiratory time ```
26
pulmonary surfactant
to prevent lung collapse by lowering the surface tension in the alveoli
27
benefits of surfactant
reduces WOB reduces the distending pressure required to keep small alveoli open provides a stabilizing influence alveoli of different sizes
28
Laplaw Law
if the collapsing force of alveolar surface tension is opposed by an equal counter pressure, the alveolus remains in an inflated state
29
Poiseuille Law
16 X more work if the airway diameter is cut in half
30
Auto-PEEP
if the lungs do not have enough time to empty, pressure may still be positive in slowly emptying alveoli and still be positive at the end of expiration when the next inspiration begins, air trapping
31
air-trapping
asthma emphysema weak lung recoil force
32
Alveolar Ventilation

time constants

37

38

rapidly adapting irritant receptors
``` vagocagel reflex - ETT - airway suctioning - bronchoscopy inhaled irritants ```
234
sensory reflex
laryngospasm bronchospasm coughing decrease HR
235
motor reflex
``` bronchoconstriction coughing sneezing tachypnea narrow glottis ```
236
central chemoreceptors
repsonds to H+ arrises from the reaction between dissolved CO2 and H2O in the CSF CO2 diffuses from blood brain barrier to CSF to form H+
237
CO2 diffusion
ventilation increases 2-3L/min for every mmHg in PaCO2 rise
238
maximal hyperventilation
PaO2 can not rise over 130 mmHg
239
peripheral chemoreceptors
20%-30% of ventilation responds to PaCO2 rise 5X quicker than central
240
carotid bodies
exert much more influence over the respiratory center than aortic - high blood flow rate glossopharyngeal - carotid vagus - aortic
241
hypoxia
doesnt stimulate ventilation until PaO2 decreases less than 60 mmHg or less
242
normal ICP
<10mmHg
243
normal CBF`
60 mmHg
244
exercise
onset period of adjustment steady state
245
J receptors
rapid-slow breathing , sensation of dyspnea
246
cheyne-stokes
increase RR and volume by gradual decrease in RR to complete apnea CHF
247
biot
RR and tidal volume increase with volume at the same depth lesions of the PONS
248
central reflex hypernea
continuous deep breathing
249
central reflex hypopnea
respiratory centers do not respond to appropriate ventilation stimuli such as CO2 - hypoventilation brain trauma narcotic depression
