Putting all these things together, there are 4 causes of lung-related hypoxemia: |
1)Hypoventilation (not enough fresh gasgetting in and old gas getting out) ● 2)Diffusion impairment (O2 and CO2 have problems passing fromalveolus to and from capillary) ● 3)Ventilation(V) perfusion(Q) mismatch(V/Q ratio not ~0.8) ● 4) Shunt between the pulmonaryartery and vein J |

Flail Chest |
, aportion of the chest wall doesn’t resist the lung’s tendency to pull inward.During Inspiration, the unbalanced part of the lung collapses (caves in) andduring Expiration, the vacuum created by the collapsed portion of the lungcauses air to be pulled to itself and for the lung to be sucked out of thepleura cavity space, and that part of the chest “flails”. |

|
Pneumothorax |
A collapsed Lung. This condition occurs when air leaks into thespace between the lungs and chest wall. |

Atelectasis |
Complete or partial collapse of a lung or a section (lobe) of a lung. |
|
|
Interstitial Lung Disease. |
a large group of disorders characterized by progressive scarring of the lung tissue between and supporting the alveoli. |
|
|
Sarcoidosis |
The growth of tiny collections of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body including the lings and helium of the lungs. |
|
|
Pulmonary Embolism |
occlusion or partial occlusion of the pulmonary artery orit’s branches by an embolus. PE mostly commonly results from embolism of a clotfrom deep venous thrombosis involving the lower leg. Other less common non-thromboticemboli include tissue fragments, lipids (fats), a foreign body or an airbubble. sac&* |

Tuberculosis |

|
