Q

3 types of Emphysema?

A
  1. Centrilobular
  • Rarely occurs in non smokers, more common in men
  • Destruction of the bronchioles, lesions to the upper lobes
  1. Panlobular
  • Generalized distribution
  • Septal destruction
  • Seen in antitrypsin and aging
  1. Bollus
  • Damage at the alveolar level

Q

What is emphysema?

Q

How does temperature affect humidity?

A

As temperature increases, evaporation rates increase and the capacity of the atmosphere to hold water increases`

Q

What is absolute humidity?

A

The actual weight of water (content) vapor contained in a given volume of gas (g/m3) → varies with temperature

Q

What is relative humidity?

A

The relationship between the actual water content present and the maximum it can hold at a specific temperature (expressed as a percentage)

  • If temperature increases, RH decreases (indirect relationship)

Q

What is the humidity deficit?

A

Moisture difference between the air and the needs of the body.

  • Refer to guide for Calculation
17
Q

What is actual humidity?

A

44 mg/dl

18
Q

Relative humidity example

A

At 37 C, if the actual water vapor pressure is 20 mmHg, what is the Relative Humidity?

  • RH = content/capacity x 100
  • RH = 20/47 x 100 = 43%
19
Q

At FRC where is oxygen concentration the highest?

A

The alveoli at the apices contain more volume than the alveoli at the bases at the level of the lungs

  • Standing increases TC (gravity pulls down)
  • Perfusion is greater at the base in a upright lung
20
Q

Normal V/Q ratio?

A

Normal V/Q = 0.8

  • APICES = 3.3
  • Bases = 0.6
21
Q

West lungs zones

  1. Zone 1
  2. Zone 2
  3. Zone 3
A
  1. Zone 1: no blood flow
  • ALVEOLAR > ARTERY Pressure
  1. Zone 2: some blood flow
    (only when)
  • ALVEOLAR < ARTERY Pressure
  1. Zone 3: constant blood flow
  • ALVEOLAR < ARTERY Pressure
  • Pulmonary artery catheter is placed in zone 3
22
Q

Characteristics of Shunt problems

  • Treatment and correction strat?
A
  • PaCO2 decreases as MV increases
  • O2 therapy will decrease myocardial and ventilatory workload
  • PaO2 will drop dramatically
  • If refractory hypoxemia exists → increases in PEEP or proning should correct it
23
Q

Treatment for refractory hypoxemia?

A

Increase PEEP or prone

24
Q

Characteristics of pulmonary Dead space problems

  • Treatment and correction strat?
A

Increases in MV does not change PaCO2

  • Changes in MV are minimal with correction of hypoxemia with O2 therapy
  • Dead space results in ‘wasted ventilation’ → leads to increased WOB
25
Q

What is Anatomic dead space?

A

2.2ml/mg IBW

  • Increases with decreased Vt and increased RR (rapid/shallow breathing), mechanical
    ventilation (increased circuit dead space)
  • Decreases with tracheostomies and pneumothorax
26
Q

What is Alveolar Dead Space?

A

classic PE example* → ratio over 1

  • Contacts alveolar epithelium but no gas exchange occurs due to the lack of capillary
    blood flow
  • Increased by pulmonary emboli and vascular tumors (decreased CO and perfusion)
27
Q

What is the Dead Space Effect?

A

Ventilation in excess of perfusion (small amount of perfusion is present)

  • Normal in the apices (standing patients)
  • Increased by PPV, decreased CO, increased airway resistance (asthma, kinked tube),
    A/c membrane destruction (emphysema)
  • For each doubling of Minute Volume, PaCO2 should decrease by 10 mmHg

**if there is disparity here, then dead space has likely increased

28
Q

As V/Q mismatch improves, what happens to EtCO2?

A

As V/Q mismatch improves, EtCO2 will read closer to PaCO2

  • wide discrepancies can
    be used to determine mismatch
29
Q

When is a synchronized shock is delivered?

A

On the R wave
