when is compliance increased
when is airway positive pressure?
Start: chest wall> lung recoil, PA >> PATM, effort dependant=> can force out
Mid-expiration (50-99%): lung > chest wall recoil, ⇧compliance, effort indep, collapse airway
End of expiration: lung recoil = chest wall expansion, PA = PATM (airway positive pressure)
Flow and Ventilation: Top of lung
when does more air flows at the bottom of the lung?
more air (more air flows into bottom during inspiration only)
Flow and Ventilation: Bottom of lung:
more blood flow (gravity, dilated capillaries, dilated arterioles)
how does a pt. with V/Q mismatch present? (restrictive or obstructive)
what does it lead to?
Every V / Q mismatch presents with a restricive pattern, leads to hypoxia
Dead space:
example and
describe V/Q and why?
High V /Q =>no blood flow
• Ex: PE, shock
Shunt:
describe V/Q and why
example
Low V /Q => no ventilation

another name
measures what?
how does it work?

Aortic Body:
what is it?
what does it measure
how does it work?

⇩C02: controlled by ⇧ventilation (i.e. airway being open)
why not give O2 to COPD patients?
Don't give >1L 02 to COPD pts b/c hypoxia is the drive for ventilation
1) fills airways => C02 can't leave
2) knocks out apneustic center (pneumotactic center desensitized) =>coma

normal Breathing Patterns:
breathe in ⇨ hold 1 sec ⇨ breathe out ⇨ hold 1 sec
Restrictive breathing pattern
=>more time in inspiration (I)

describe and example
breathe in⇨hold for a long time⇨breathe out
Ex: Pontine hemorrhage
Cheyne-Stokes breathing:
describe and what are some of the causes (2)
deep breathing followed by apnea (sigh)
