(116 cards)
mullers maneuver
inhalation against a closed glottis
valsava’s maneuver
exhalation against closed glottis
upper airway extends to..
cricoid cartilage
trachea ends
T4-T5
both bronchi take off at 55 degree angle up to what age
up to 3yrs old
how much vital capacity required for an effective cough?
15ml/kg
when TPP +
when TPP -
airway is open
airway is closed
increasing PaCO2 to EtCO2 gradient means waht?
increased dead space so decreased EtCO2
how does PPV affect deadspace
it increases deadspace
Vd/Vt ratio is spontaneous breathign vs mechanical ventilation
0.33 in spontaneous
0.5 in mechanical ventilation
how does neck extension affect dead space
neck extension increases deadspace
what equation do you need to calculate physiologic dead space?
bohr equation
Vd/Vt = (PaCO2 -PeCO2) / PaCO2
PeCO2 = exhaled gas but you can use end tidal in its place.
what is normal V/Q ratio
0.8 4L/min ventilation and CO 5L/min
base of lung vs apex for ventilation and perfusion
base more ventilation and more perfusion
apex higher V/Q ratio
PAO2 is higher in apex
PACO2 higher in base (more ventilation)
what is the likley problem with V/Q mismatch
oxygenation is the most likely issue, lot bigger problem than CO2 elimination. CO2 retention suggests severe V/Q mismatch.
when does surfactant production start and peak?
stars: 22-28 weeks
peaks: 35-36 weeks
what contributes to anatomic shunt
thesbian, pleural, bronchiolar veins
what does the alveolar gas equation actually tell you?
max PAO2 that can be acheived at a given FiO2
gives more context for evaluationg PAO2.
what increases A/a gradient?
diffusion limitation
V/Q mismatch
shunt
what does not effect A/a gradient?
hypoxic mixture
hypoventilation
when will supplemental oxygen not raise oxygenation?
with a shunt
give me the normal lung volumes
