Oxygen Theory

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Aerobic metabolism   sustain life, metabolism that occurs in the presence of oxygen, can produce a lot of energy (ATP)  
🗑
Anaerobic   able to grow and function without air or oxygen - in the cytoplasm  
🗑
oxygen   colorless, tastleless, transparent gas  
🗑
What does oxygen exist in atmosphere   21%  
🗑
Four classifications of Tissue Hypoxia   1. Hypoxemia (hypoxic hypoxia) 2. Hemoglobin defiency (anemic hypoxia) 3. low blood flow (circulatory hypoxia) 4. dysoxia (histotoxic hypoxia)  
🗑
Hypoxemia (Hypoxic hypoxia)   inadequate delivery of oxygen to the lun or from the lung to the blood RESPONDS TO O2  
🗑
Causes of hypoxemia   hypoventilation, breathing at high altitude, shunt (atelectasis), V/Q mismatch, diffusion defects  
🗑
Hemoglobin Defiency (anemic hypoxia)   anemia refers to low amounts of hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood. RESPONDS TO O2  
🗑
causes of hemoglobin defiency (anemic hypoxia)   loss of Hb, decreased Hb production, abnormal Hb, or an impaired chemical combination of Hb (carbon monoxide poisoning)  
🗑
Low blood flow (circulatory hypoxia)   sufficient blood flow is not reaching the tissue and therefore oxygen is not being delivered. O2 THERAPY LIMITED  
🗑
causes of low blood flow (circulatory hypoxia)   cardiac pump failure, CHF, shock, ischemia  
🗑
Dysoxia (histotoxic hypoxia)   poisoning of the cellular oxygen utilization mechanism has occured (the cell is not able to accept oxygen from the blood to utilize it. DOES NOT RESPOND TO O2  
🗑
Causes of dysoxia (histotoxic hypoxia)   cyanide poisoning  
🗑
Acute hypoxia sign/symptoms   tachypnea, increase RR, tachycardia, hypertension, increase CO, Arrythymia, restlessness, liver and kidney damage  
🗑
Chronic Hypoxia signs/symptoms   persistent mental and physical fatigue, secondary polycythemia, restlessness, clubbing, increase size of heart (right side failure) (cor pulmonale)  
🗑
Indication for O2 use   Documented hypoxemia PaO2 thes than 60 mmHg or SaO2 less than 90%  
🗑
Oxygen toxicity   result of increased FiO2 2 factors: effective dose and duration  
🗑
Signs/symptoms of oxygen toxicity   tachypnea, fatigue, anxiety, irritation of trachea, mild cough, pain in inspiration, N/V, decreased vital capacity  
🗑
Hypoventilation   increased PaO2  
🗑
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)   increased PaO2, irreversible damage to the retina of an infant due to exposure to high levels in the arterial blood. Greater than 80 mmHg.  
🗑
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BDP)   fibrotic tissue damage caused by the exposure of high levels of inhaled oxygen (FiO2)to the immature lung tissue in a premature baby for a long period of time FiO2 is greater than 40% for more than 24-72 hours  
🗑
absorption atelectasis   collapse of alveoli as the result of high levels (FiO2) in the inhaled air causing elimination of N2 from the lung.  
🗑
Shift to RIGHT on curve   Decrease affinity Decrease pH Increase in Temp increase 2,3,DPG increase in PCO2  
🗑
Shift to LEFT on curve   increase affinity (O2 transferred to the blood and HgB) increase in pH decrease in temp decrease 2,3 DPG Decrease in PCO2  
🗑
Hypoxia   lack of oxygen at the tissue level  
🗑
Hypoxemia   lack of oxygen in the arterial blood (decreased PaO2)  
🗑
Hyperoxia   increased levels of O2 to tissues usually due to the use of supplemental O2  
🗑
Secondary polycythemia   increased production of RBCs. More RBCS available to carry oxygen to the tissues  
🗑
cyanosis   visible bluish tinge of the skin and mucous membranes  
🗑
CaO2   content in the amount of oxygn in a substance expressed as volume %.  
🗑
CaO2 calculation   CaO2 = (Hb x 1.34 x SaO2) + (PaO2 x .003) Hemoglobin plasma  
🗑
normal CaO2   20.4 vol%  
🗑
Alveolar Air Equation   PAO2 = [Pb - 47)FiO2]- PACO2/8  
🗑
Normal A-a gradient   5-10 mmHg on room air no more than 65 mmHg on 100% oxygen  
🗑
A-a gradient calculation   P(A-a)O2 = PAO2- PaO2  
🗑
