#physiology #pulmonology
Pulmonary perfusion
Left and Right Bronchial Arteries arise from Descending Aorta.

These perfuse the areas which would not be perfused by simple flow of pulmonary arteries.

Majority drains into the Right atrium → RA blood is less oxygenated than blood from pulmonary veins.
#physiology #anatomy #pulmonology
Pulmonary infarction:

what kind of necrosis?
almost always hemorrhagic thanks to dual blood supply (pulmonary and bronchial arteries)
#pathology #pulmonology
Drug using population:
what organisms cause endocarditis
1. Staph aureus
2. Pseudomonas aeruginosa

NB: Tricuspid endocarditis,
septic emboli to lungs → hemorrhagic necrosis
#microbiology #pulmonology
Where do the respiratory drive signals originate
Hypercapnea (normal individuals):
-Medulla detects pH

Hypoxia (<60 mmHg or chronic hypercapnics)
-Chemoreceptors in aotic arch and carotid bodies via CN9

Pleural Pressure Through Inspiration and Expriation
always negative (collapses pleural space)

-8 at fully inspired

#physiology #pulmonology
Where do aspirations go?
superior regions of lower lobes
posterior regions of upper lobes
#pathology #pulmonology
ARDS
diffuse injury to endothelium or epithelium
→ ↑ permeability → interstitial & alveolar edema, inflam, hyalin membranization
↓ compliance, ↑ workload ↓ diffusion

severe involvment or atalectasis will cause V/Q mismatch

requires an absence of cardiogenic ie hemodynamic causes ie wedge pressures, atrial pressures should not be hchanged
#pathology #pulmonlogy
Laplace's law
Pressure necessary to distend a hollow organ is directly proprtional to the tension and inversely proprortional to the radius

P = 2T/r

assuming constant surface tension, sphere with smaller radius will have higher distending pressure requirement

thus will want to collapse when in communication with a larger sphere of the same surface tension


(ergo we need surfactant)
#physiology #pulmonology
In pulmonary edema what accounts for dyspnea?
↓ lung compliance from interstitial fluid

Radial Traction in lungs means what
pulling inwards
#pathology #pulmonology
When is pulmonary vascular resistance lowest
at the low volume end of normal tidal volume

above this the stretch in the wall squeezes the vasculature

below this muscular is placing pressure on the system

CXR: pulmonary infiltrates far worse than expected from clincial presentation
M pneumoniae "walking pneumonia"
#microbiology #pulmonology
The pathology of heart failure cells

#pathology #pulmonology
Calculate A-a gradient
Normal Aa gradient <15

(Not 0 because ventilation better in apex and perfusion better in lower lobes = ventilation perfusion mismatch)

>15 means that the problem is definitely in the lungs: air is not exchanging appropriately

A-a = PAO2 - PaO2

and PAO2 ≈ 150 - (PaCO2/0.8)

Deriving the formula is complicated but the formula is not so just memorize this:
