coronary arteries
brain gets second dibs |

|
baseline FEV1 < 40% of expected
increasing frequency of severe pulmonary exacerbations requiring hospitalization progressive O2 need emergence of organisms resistant to multiple anti-biotics ok so this was something she said to know...i didn't see it in his handout but this is what i remember from lectuer: it is tough to get a lung transplant, so you want to get on the list early (before you need one) also you can get parts from mom/dad |
|

they might have CF |

J receptor is what senses stretch of the lungs and makes you exhale
RSV can stop this receptor's activity this is seen in kids and can lead to stopping of breathing! |
|
Why are neonates more susceptible to O2 toxicity?
|
Premature babies get toxicity from oxygen and inflammation bc they *do not have Free Radical Scavengers* to fight off free radicals
--thus they cannot turn off the inflammatory response |

Functional Residual Volume
|

Restore FRC!
Make it easier for them to breathe. -Giving O₂ doesn’t treat the WOB. Their lungs are already too full (blood, edema,pus, mucus) |
|

|
IgG passes from mother to fetus in *3rd Trimester*
-A TERM baby has mom’s immunity for a couple months, it then goes down for a bit while IgG, IgA & IgM are learned |
|

*Neutrophilic infiltration *Decreases Oxygenation *Increases Work of Breathing describes? |
• Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) or Hyaline Membrane Disease
|
|

can't secrete as well, and what it does is less effective |
