Q

What does a higher transpulmonary pressure in the upper part of the lungs mean for inspiration?

A

the alveoli in the upper lungs are near maximally inflated and relatively non compliant so they undergo little expansion during inspiration

30

base of lung

32
Where is pleural pressure most negative in upright person?
apex
33
3 other characteristics of apex of lung other than pleural pressure being the most negative?
alveoli not compressed, alveoli have greatest volume, alveoli least compliant
34
Ventilation preferentially goes to the base of the lung why?
pleural pressure least - in base and alveoli most compliant
35
Pleural pressure increases by what cm H2O per cm of lung dependency (down the lung)?
0.25
36
At a normal tidal volume range, which part of the lung receives the majority of ventilation?
dependent/base bc apex alveoli already overdistended they’re poorly compliant
37
The dependent/base of the lung is (ventilation and perfusion wise)?
ventilated and preferentially perfused
38
In an awake lateral position, the apex and base are equal in which part of the lung?
dependent
39
Distribution of ventilation is changed in an anesthetized paralyzed patient how?
changed from the dependent lung to the nondependent lung
40
In an anesthetized paralyzed patient how are ventilation and perfusion distributed in the lateral position?
dependent lung is poorly ventilated and well perfused, shunting; nondepedent lung is well ventilated and not well perfused, deadspace
41
Why are FRC and compliance of dependent lung in an anesthetized pt in lateral position decreased?
abdominal contents pushing on dependent lung, weight of the mediastinum compresses that lung, axillary rolls compresses that lung
42
Decreased FRC and compliance in the dependent lung favor ventilation in?
non dependent lung
43
Once the chest wall is opened, compliance greatly increases where?
non dependent lung
44
What is the sequence of cephalaud displacement of lungs?
supine, induction, paralysis, surgical position, displacement by retractors and packs
45
In OLV, which lung is ventilated and which collapsed? What type of mismatch do you get?
dependent ventilated, nondependent collapsed; shunt flow
46
How do the lungs function to decrease shunt flow in OLV?
arteriolar smooth muscle contract in areas of lung which have decreased PAO2. this directs blood flow away from the hypoxic regions
47
Normal perfusion w 2 lung ventilation, dependent lung gets what % of blood flow and nondependent lung which %?
dependent gets 60%, nondependent 40%
48
OLV with HPV, dependent and nondependent lungs get what % of blood flow?
nondep gets 20%, dep gets 80%
49
HPV is more effective when what % of the lungs are hypoxic?
30-70
50
What type of shunt happens w OLV and HPV?
right to left
51
Conditions that worsen right to left shunt w OLV and HPV?
very high or low PAPs, hypocapnia, high or low mixed venous PO2, vasodilators, inotropes, beta agonists, Ca channel blockers, pulmonary infection
52
Conditions that reduce HPV indirectly?
vasopressors, high airway pressures (PEEP, high inspiratory pressure), low FiO2
53
Is CO2 affected by OLV if MV is not changed?
usually not
54
Surgeries that may need OLV?
pneumonectomy, lobe resection, segmental resection, thoracic aneurysm repair. esophageal surgeries, thoracoscopy, single lung transplant, anterior approach to thoracic spine, bronchioalveolar lavage,

56
3 techniques for providing OLV?
double lumen bronchial tube, single lumen tracheal tube in conjunction w bronchial blocker, single lumen bronchial tube
57
For a DLT, opening the port on appropriate side allows which lung to collapse?
ipsilateral
58

DLT size is based on pt's?
height
61
DLT Carlens, which bronchus is intubated and is there a carinal hook?
left, yes
62
DLT White, which bronchus is intubated and is there a carinal hook?
right yes
63
DLT Robertshaw, which bronchus is intubated and is there a carinal hook?
right or left; no
64
Which sided DLT has big murphy's eye? and bc of that which sided DLT is usually used?
right; left
65
One negative ab the carinal hook?
may irritate the carina and cause cough
66
Where is the Murphy Eye on the White tube?
right past the tracheal cuff and above bronchial cuff
67
How do you pass a DLT?
distal curve concave up/anteriorly and rotated 90 degrees towards side of bronchus to be intubated after tip/bronchial balloon enters larynx rotate it 90 degrees then take out stylet and advance until resistance felt
68
Tracheal cuff requires how many mL for inflation?
5-10
69
Unilateral breath sounds indicate that?
tube too far down (tracheal opening is bronchial)
70
How much air do you put in bronchial cuff?
1-2 mL
71
Which cuff do you inflate first on a DLT?
tracheal
72
Malposition of a DLT is usually indicated by what 2 things?
low exhaled TV and poor lung compliance
73
If unilateral breath sounds are heard after inflating the tracheal cuff on a DLT, where is the tube?
tube is too far down; tracheal opening is bronchial
74
When checking for placement of a DLT, after you inflate the bronchial tube, what step is next?
clamp the tracheal lumen and check for unilateral breath sounds
75
Which lumen do you place the fiberoptic bronchoscope down to check for left DLT placement?
right
76
When looking through a fiberoptic bronchoscope, where should the endobronchial cuff be?
just below tracheal carina
77
Review slide 45
yes review it
78
What is one complication from overinflation of the bronchial cuff?
tracheobronchial rupture. this is associated w high morbidity and mortality
79
What's a disadvantage of a bronchial blocker, besides that it is hard to place?
blocked lung collapses slowly and sometimes incompletely bc of the small size of the channel w/in the blocker
80
What's a Gordon Green tube?
right sided single lumen tube used for left thoracotomies
81
What are 2 advantages and disadvantages ab the Gordon Green tube?
had bronchial and tracheal cuff, carinal hook, hazard of carinal hook, inability to suction the left lung
82
How can you prevent brachial plexus injury w positioning in lateral position?
rolled towel or small pillow under axillary
