Q

V/Q mismatches

A

13
Q

V/Q values of the lung

A

ideal=1
apex of lung is higher (less blood flow)

overall base has more V and Q though

14
Q

Haldane effect

A

RBC’s release CO2 when increased O2 present (in lungs)

15
Q

High altitudes on blood chemistry

A

decreased PCO2 (hyperventilation)
increased RBC’s/EPO
increased 2,3-BPG (increased oxygen release)

16
Q

Virchow’s triad and Homan’s sign

A
Stasis
hypercoagulability
endothelial damage
all for DVT

warfarin for long term

18
Q

Sign of pulmonary emboli

A

hypoxemia
CNS sx
petechial rash

19
Q

20
Q

Chronic bronchitis

A

COPD with emphysema
hypertrophy of mucous glands
hypercapnea/wt gain (blue bloaters)
productive cough over 3 mo for over 2 years

21
Q

Emphysema

A

pink puffers
pursed lips/erythematous
increased lung compliance

22
Q

Centriacinar emphysema

A

increased proteases

from smoking

23
Q

Panacinar emphysema

A

decreased antiprotease (A1AT deficiency)

A

giant bullae

spontaneous pneumothorax in young males

25
Q

Asthma characteristics

A

Curschmann spirals (mucus plugs)
Charcot Leyden crystals (eosinophil breakdown)
hyperresponsiveness
smooth muscle hypertrophy

26
Q

Bronchiectasis characteristics

A

chronic necrotizing bronchi infection
permanently dilates airways
assc with Cystic fibrosis/Kartagener’s syndrome/allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

27
Q

Restrictive lung disease characteristics

A

decreased lung volume
normal FEV1/FVC
caused by fibrosis/damage to lungs
Sarcoidosis/Goodpasture’s/Wegener’s

28
Q

Anthracosis

A

upper lungs

assc with coal miners

29
Q

Silicosis

A

increased TB/bronchogenic carcinoma
sandblasting/foundry work
disruption of macrophages
fibrosis/upper lungs
