Q

CO poisoning

Etiology:
CF:
Tx:

A

Etiology: incomplete hydrocarbon combustion. caused by smoke inhalation

Pathogenesis: competitively bind iron present in heme proteins. The gas binds to heme iron with a much higher affinity than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin

CF: nonspecific findings ranging from headache and dizziness to convulsions and respiratory arrest depending on concentration and exposure

Tx: high-flow or hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Q

Pathogenesis of asthma

A
  1. Initial exp/ sensitization phase:
    - allergen - Th2 mediated IL5 release - eosinophils. IL4+13 - IgE production - mast cell priming
  2. Repeat exposure:
    Mast cells release histamine + leukotriene - vasodilation + bronchoconstriction + endoth damage — leaky eosinophils: major basic protein which activates neutrophils + alveolar macrophages — further inflammation

Q

Inc in dead space ventilation seen w?

23
Q

Rapid shallow breathing index?

Study These Flashcards
A

RSBI = RR / TV

  • used in the weaning of mechanical ventilation on ICU

Pts on mech ventilation - weak reso muscles: Low TV : Inc RR to maintain minute ventilation

Low RSBI - high TV - less recurrence of resp failure once off ventilator
