Q

How does hypocalcemia result from hyperventilation?

A

Hyperventilation -> respiratory alkalosis ->
H+ bound to negatively charged plasma proteins (albumin) is released ->
Ca2+ (positively charged) can bind to albumin

*paresthesias/perioral numbness can occur with hyperventilation

Q

How does hyperventilation cause HYPOkalemia?

A

H+-K+ transporter pump H+ out of cells to restore physiologic pH

K+ is simultaneously pumped intracellularly to ensure electroneutrality
- hypokalemia

81
Q

The ________ plexus innervates most of the abdominal viscera (stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, intestines). What happens if you block it?

A

Celiac plexus

82
Q

How does ventricular hypertrophy affect wall tension? Based on which law?

A

Reduces
- LaPlace’s law
Wall Tension = (P*r) / (2h)

83
Q

Three main determinants of myocardial oxygen demand

A
  1. Wall tension
  2. HR
  3. Contractility
84

91
Q

Atropine and glycopyrrolate are ______

A

anticholinergics

92

Q

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV)
