25
PO2 of 100 in the arteries is what percent saturated?
100% saturated
26
difference between CaO2 and CvO2 in volumes percent:
5 volumes percent
27
How are hemoglobin levels and the oxygen dissociation curve effected in anemia?
less hemoglobin, oxygen dissociation curve does not change
28
True or False? Every hemoglobin is saturated in anemic patients
T
29
True or False? less oxygen is delivered to peripheral tissues in patients with anemia.
T
30
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin __ X more than oxygen.
200 X more than oxygen
31
How to treat carbon monoxide poisoning:
hyperbaric chamber
32
If we breathe 100% oxygen we can increases the amount of oxygen up to what %?
5 or 6%, but does not correct the oxygen delivery. If binding sites are taken by carbon monoxide this doesn't matter
33
What happens if you increase pressure of oxygen and nitrogen?
Increases total barometric pressure (check)
34
What type of gas is Ns
depression from high P(B)
35
Low oxygen arterial content
tissues still takes up same amount of oxygen if...
36
Low venous oxygen content:
when it comes back to lungs it is more difficult to raise back up to arterial level
37
Resting oxygen consumption
250 ml per minute
38
oxygen consumption = (equation)
ventilation X the extraction of oxygen
39
oxygen consumption during exercise:
4 L O2/min
40
Cardiac output during exercise:
25 L/min
41
Venous content during exercise:
decrease three fold
42
How many times higher than normal is oxygen consumption during exercise?
15 times
43
reservoir to guard against hypoxia:
spleen, low in humans and does not contract very much
44
What animals can store large amounts of hemoglobin:
seal, aquatic mammals
45
How can arterial blood be changed from 20% volume?
it can't be
46
High consumption of oxygen
PO2 drops to as low as 20 (mixd venous oxygen content of about 15) 20-5 = 15 volumes percent extracted
47
Influences dissociation curve:
d
48
modulate the hemoglobin mole
conformational change in release of oxygen, high CO2, high Hydrogen, high temperature, all release oxygen at greater rate decreasing Hb O2 and O2 saturation
49
Lower p H will shift the curve in which direction
curve shift to the right, more O2 release
50
What causes a left shift in the curve?
decrease temperature, decrease PCO2, increase phospholipids, decrease 2,3 BPG
51
Increases tissue metabolism affects temperature PCO2 and pH how?
increases temperature, increases PCO2, decreased p H
52
p50:
partial pressure at 50% saturation
53
p50 decreased temperature:
20
54
p50 at increased temperature:
40
55
2,3 BPG
intermediate metabolite for anaerobic metabolism
56
If metabolism is completely oxidative how will 2,3 BPG be affected?
it will decrease
57
CO2 production is due to:
glucose metabolism
58
Respiratory quotient is usually:
1
59
Only oxygen store in the body
bound to hemoglobin or in solution (20 volumes percent)
60
CO2 storage in body:
large, in tissues and blood
61
How does high levels of fee H+ affect the curve?
shift to the left
62
normal pH range:
7.53 to 7.45
63
P H calculation using HH eq
ratio of bicarbonate to PaCO2
64
PaCO2 is a regulator of:
pH
65
High CO2 can result in:
Co2 poisoning (PaCO2 above 65)
66
High CO2 affect on blood flow
reduces blood flow
67
CO2 dissociation curve vs O2:
linear, because Co2 is being converted and shuttle out of the cell
68
How does high O2 shift the curve?
to the right
69
oxidize fatty acids R =
0.7
70
oxidize carbs R =
1
71
oxidize protein =
0.8
72
R for most people:
0.8 -0.85
73
how is R affected when the body is stressed?
R goes closer to 1
74
anytime we talk about alveolar gas we have to subtract:
water vapor
75
alveolar ventilation changes the PaCo2 which plays an important role in:
acid/base balance and control of respiratory system
76
If compliance is decreasing, elastance is (increasing/ decreasing)
increasing (meaning stiffer lungs)
77
True or False? increased elastance indicates increased compliance.
F. stiffer lungs. elastance and compliance are inversely related
78
Normal compliance on spontaneously breathing healthy adult is approximately:
200 ml/cm H2O
79
Which lung pressures remains positive and which remains negative under physiological conditions?
transpulmonary pressure: always positive, intrapleural pressure: always negative and large
80
Is emphysema restrive or obstructive?
obstructive
81
What does the respiratory ratio represent?
Co2 production relative to O2 consumption
