Definition

Gas that remains in the lungs after a maximal expiration

Term
Total lung capacity
Definition

Volume in lungs after maximal inspiration

Term
Vital capacity
Definition
Volume that can be expired after a maximal inspiration
Term
Functional  residual capacity
Definition
Air that remains in lungs after a normal expiration
Term
Dead space
Definition

Term
What is methemoglobin?
Definition
Fe (2+)--> Fe (3+) state

-Unable to bing Oxygen and gives skin a "bluish" cyanotic color
-Caused by food/drugs (nitrites, fava beans
Term
Name several factors that effect V/Q
Definition
-Gravity

-alveolar hypoxia, hypercapnia and acidosis=> hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction

-generalized alveolar hypoxia-->increased total pulmonary vascular resistance
Term
What are the clinical manifestations of decreased V/Q?
Definition
Decreased V/Q is caused by decreased ventilation or increased blood flow.

Clinical manifestation:
-decreased alveolar [O2} and increased [CO2]
-eg. pulmonary edema
         --can be assessed by measuring lung diffusing capacity
Term
What are the clinical manifestations of INCREASED V/Q ratio?
Definition

Caused by increased ventilation or decreased blood flow.

Clincal manifestations:
-increased alveolar [O2] but decreased O2 uptake
-eg. pulmonary embolism
       --can be assessed with ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan

Term

Gas exchange barriers in Dz:

Diffusion-limited gas exchange

Definition
(Decreased V/Q)

-Emphysema destroys alveolar septa-->decreased surface area

-Interstitial Dz of pulmonary edema-->increased diffusion distances
Term

Gas Exchange Barriers in Dz

Perfusion-limited gas exchange

Definition
Increased V/Q

-Pulmonary embolism-->ventilated but underperfused lung
Term
Fulminant hypoxia
Definition
PO2< 20 mmHg
Term
Acute hypoxia
Definition
PO2 25-40
Term
Chronic hypoxia
Definition
PO2 40-60 mmHg
Term
What is the most common type of hypoxemia?
Definition
Arterial hypoxemia
Term
What is arterial hypoxemia?
Definition
Decrease in alveolar ventilation leading to an increase in oxygenation of arterial blood
Term
Arterial blood gas (ABG)
Definition

Hb saturation (SaO2) <90%
~PO2 <60 mmHg


PCO2 >45 mmHg

Term
Normal A-a gradient
Definition
Less than or equal to 10-15 mmHg

(the A-a gradient is the difference between alveolar and arterial O2 tension)
Term
Other than arterial hypoxemia, what are other types of hypoxia?
Definition
Ischemic hypoxia: inadequate blood flow secondary to thrombus or embolism

Anemic hypoxia: insufficient functional [Hb]

Histotoxi hypoxia: inactivation of certain enzymes (eg. cyanide poisoning)
Term
Metabolic effects of glucocortoids?
Definition
CARBS: decreased carb metabolism (hyperglycemia, insulin resistance)

PROTEINS: proteolysis of skeletal muscle, forms AA substates for gluconeogenesis

LIPIDS: fatty acids mobilization from adipose tissue to liver
(leads to ketosis and enhances gluconeogenesis)
Term
Anti-inflammatory effects of Glucocorticoids?
Definition

1) Stabilizes lysosome membranes

2) Decreased leukocyte diapedesis

3) Decreased # of circulating WBCs

4) Decrease in body's immune response

5) Decreased production of interleukin-2

6) Inhibits T cell proliferation

Term
Physiologic effects of glucocorticoids?  (other than anti-inflammatory)
Definition
Gastric:  increased gastric acid secretion, decreased mucosal cell proliferation

Psychiatric: euphoria followed by paranoia, psychosis, depression

Vascular: helps maintain normal BP, enhances vasopressor effects of NE by upregulating alpha-1 recetpors
Term

What are the effects of bradykinin?

Definition
-Arteriolar dilation
ACE degrades bradykinin
ACE-Inhibitors help to lower blood pressure

-Venous constriction
Term
What is compliment?
Definition
proteins that form membrane-attack complexes
Term
NO
Definition
Produced by macrophages and endothelium

Induces vasodilation and decreases platelet aggregation
Term
PAF
Definition
Produced by WBC and endothelium

Induces platelet aggregation, bronchoconstriction, vasodilation
Term
Cytokines
Definition
Proteins produces by macrophages and endothelium

Induces WBC aggregation, primes cells for inflammatory effects
Term
Effects of histamine?
Definition
Arterial dilation

Venous constriction
Term
Effects of 5HT?
Definition
Arterial constriction
Term
Prostaglandins and TX...
Definition

Prostaglandins:
-vasodilates or constricts
-induces fever and pain

Thromboxane:
-platlet aggregation
-vasoconstriction

Inhibited by NSAIDS
ASA reduces TX production, therefore decreases platelet aggregation

Term
