Inflammation causes increase in bronchial hyper response
obstructive airflow is due to Inflammation Bronchospasms mucus plugging
with Reactive Airway Disease pt. has decrease in tidal vol and expiratory vol.
Ph abnormalities seen in Reactive Airway Disease are d/t increase in # of poorly ventilated alveoli increase in hypoxemia CO2 retention Resp acidosis
decrease in Ph and increase in CO2 build up results in poor ventilation
Asthma triggers Aspirin smoke cold air pollutants

Name a mast cell inhibitor Cromolyn
Name a leukotriene modifier Singulair

Name 2 medications given to children with RSV Synagis Palivizumab IM RespiGam (RSV immune globin)
is RSV contagious yes. place pt. on droplet and contact isolation
decreased ventilation can lead to respiratory acidosis. what lab values showes resp acidosis increased blood CO2 and decreased pH
Give example of what lab values would look like for someone in acute resp acidosis pH < 7.35 PaCO2 > 45 HCO3 22-26 (normal)
What lab value would increase if someone was partly compensating for resp acidosis the HCO3 would increase
If pH was normal but PaCO2 and HCO3 were elevated in resp acidosis this would mean what Body is compensating
