What is diffusion? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Movement of molecules from high to low concentration
Where does gas exchange occur? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
alveolar-capillary membrane
4 Causes of poor diffusion at the alveolar-capillary membrane -
CORRECT|ANSWER
1. Damage (Atelectasis)
2. Covered with fluid(Pneumonia/ARDS)
3. Insufficient inflation(hypoventilation/poor inspiratory maneuvers)
4. overstretched(High Pplat)
Why do we need to ventilate properly? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
To regulate and maintain appropriate amounts of CO2
Co2 regulation second by second -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Carbonic acid buffer system
What mechanisms produce CO2? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism
, What mechanisms regulate CO2? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
1. Being in an aerobic state
2. Blood flow to lungs
3. Proper diffusion
4. appropriate minute ventilation
PaCO2 for hypoventilation -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Above 45 mmHg
PaCO2 for hyperventilation -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Less than 35 mmHg
For every change in CO2 by 10 mmHg, you will have a corresponding change in pH by _____ in the
opposite direction -
CORRECT|ANSWER
0.08
Will the PaCO2 or ETCO2 be higher? and by how much? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
PaCO2 will always be higher by 3-5 mmHg.
How much faster does CO2 diffuse than O2? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
CO2 diffuses at a rate 20x faster than O2
PAO2 -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Partial Pressure of oxygen in the alveoli
