a= arterial
e expired air
23
Q
Functional residual capacity (FRC) what is the relationship between chest wall and lungs
how does it change in emphysema?
How does it change in fibrosis?
A
they are balanced in their pull - airway and alveolar pressure are 0 and the intrapleural pressure is negative
in emphasymia there is increased compliance so the FRC is increased. More volume at given pressure
in fibrosis there is decreased compliance so less volume at a given pressure
24
Q
Diffusion limited gases are?(2)
what does that mean?
A
CO and O2 (in diseased state: emphysema/fibrosis)
means that the partial pressure of the arterial will not be saturated upon leaving the lung - amount of gas carried limited by the diffusion
25
Perfusion limited gases(3)
| what does that mean?
CO2, O2, N20
it means that the amount of gas that leaves the lung, the amount of gas carried is limited by the perfusion of the lung, equilibrates very quickly
26
How does COPD lead to Cor pulmonale
Cor pulmonale is heart failure due to lung disease. In COPD there is less oxygen perfusing the pulmonary vasculature leading to vasoconstriction and increased pressure. This increased pressure feeds back on the R heart leading to failure
-normally vessels expand w/ decreased O2, lungs shunt away
27
Pulmonary hypertension is defined as?
>25mmHg in rest
>35 mmHg exercising
Normally 10-15 mmHg
28
Pressure is equal to?
How does radius affect the system?
∆P = Q x R
R = (8 x length x viscosity)/(pi x r^4)
29
IN pulmonary resistance, what can change? What can't generally?
radius of the tube
viscosity of the fluid
can't really change the length
R = (8 x length x viscosity)/(pi x r^4)
30
Adding He to Oxygen does what
decreases the viscosity of the air and thus leads to less pressure
```
R = (8 x length x viscosity)/(pi x r^4)
∆P = Q x R
```
31
Primary pulmonary hypertension is due to
BMPR2 mutation -> increased smooth muscle proliferation
Loss of function mutation where normally BMPR2 regulates growth and lose radius
32

How does it compare to fetal hemoglobin?
4 globin molecules (2 alpha 2 beta)
w/ 4 heme molecules
Fetal hemaglobin(2 alpha 2 gamma) has a higher preference for oxygen by being less affinity high 2,3 BPG, allows acquiring of oxygen from
35
2 types of states hemoglobin can be in and what favors each state
Taut - favors tissue and unloading
- in the presence of high: H, temp, 2,3 BPG, CO2
relaxed form favors O2 binding
-in the presence of low CO2, how H concentration and temp and 2,3 BPG
36
Hard working muscles leads to what type of hemoglobin state?
taught form and unloading of oxygen
lactic acidosis, low CO2, increased temp and metabolites of oxidation (2,3 BPG)
37
Methoglobin is what?
Ferric form (Fe 3+), oxidized iron in the hemoglobin instead of ferrous (Fe+2) form
Toxic for it favors cyanide more readily and does not favor O2 as much

40
Carboxyhemaglobin is?
Complications associated w?
hemoglobin bound to CO, see cherry red lips
- have decreased oxygen unloading in the tissues as a result
Causes a L shift in the graph due to readily binding of CO to the hemoglobin and thus not able to carry as much oxygen
(thus why pulse ox still shows high % sat because cannot differentiate what the hemoglobin is saturated w)
41
CO causes what kind of shift in the oxygen hemoglobin curve
Left shift
Causes a L shift in the graph due to readily binding of CO to the hemoglobin and thus not able to carry as much oxygen
(thus why pulse ox still shows high % sat because cannot differentiate what the hemoglobin is saturated w)
42
that causes a right shift in the hemoglobin oxygen curve and what does that mean from a oxygen unloading stanpoint
increased: CO2, [H] (low pH), temp and 2,3 BPG causes a right shift. Meaning there is left hemoglobin saturation at a given partial pressure of oxygen favoring unloading into the tissue(taut form)
The opposite is true for low CO2, [H], temp and 2,3 BPG and CO-> fairs Hg saturation at lower arterial pressure
43
Anemia leads to what changes in the the following lab results:

- fibrosis
47
If PaCO2 increases and all else is the the same, what happens to PAO2?
It decreases

48
What may change the PI02 in the alveolar gas equation
normally PAO2 = PIO2 (PaO2/R)
-> PAO2= 150 - (PaCO2/0.8)
PI O2 varries w/ atmospheric pressure and FiO2( the % oxygen content)
high altitude lowers PAO2

approaches 0 and is known as a shunt
| airway obstruction limits the ventilation no mater how much blood flows through
56
Which of the following circumstances benefits from O2 High V/Q or low V/Q
Higher ventilation to perfusion would benefit more because of capillary recruitment
low V/Q or ~ 0 would be a shunt and no mater how much O2 you give it will not make it

The small flow can be increased w/ other capillaries being recruited with the ventilation
-assuming less than 100% deadspace
58
