RESP: Acute Respiratory Failure

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
hypoxemia   PaO2 <60 failure of respiration/oxygenation  
🗑
hypercapnia   PaCO2 >50 failure of ventilation  
🗑
state of disturbed gas exchange resulting in abnormal ABGs?   acute respiratory failure  
🗑
tidal volume (Vt)   500 mL air/breath  
🗑
anatomic dead space (ADS)   Vt/3 500/3 = 150 mL/breath  
🗑
alveolar ventilation volume (AVV)   Vt - ADS 500 - 150 = 350 mL/breath  
🗑
alveolar ventilation rate (V)   AVV X RR 350 X 12bpm = 4.2 L/minute  
🗑
pulmonary perfusion rate (Q)   volume of blood in the pulmonary circulation per minute 5 L/minute  
🗑
V/Q Match   4.2/5.0 = .8 which is almost 1  
🗑
what are the determinants of adequate alveolar ventilation?   V: adequate air intake Q: adequate perfusion in pulmonary circulation  
🗑
causes of V/Q mismatch?   bronchitis <1 and emphysema >1  
🗑
primary clinical manifestations of ARF?   hypoxemia and hypercapnia  
🗑
early clinical manifestations of ARF?   confusion, headache, restlessness, tremors, tachycardia, HTN  
🗑
late clinical manifestations of ARF?   coma, bradycardia, hypotension, pulmonary HTN, cyanosis, respiratory arrest  
🗑
what is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)?   -infiltrative lung lesions -severe refractory arterial hypoxemia -life threatening respiratory distress  
🗑
precipitating events of ARDS (categories)?   -direct injury/physical source -inhalation or airway source -blood borne or vascular source  
🗑
reason why severe refractory arterial hypoxemia sucks so much?   doesnt respond to oxygen --> ventilator  
🗑
top two precipitating events of ARDS?   aspiration and sepsis  
🗑
synonymous terms for ARDS?   -septic lung -wet lung -white lung -capillary leak syndrome -shock lung -noncardiogenic pulmonary edema  
🗑
clinical manifestations of initial ARDS stage?   -insidious (sudden) onset -dyspnea -restlessness -rales -XRAYS: minimal infiltrates  
🗑
primary clinical manifestations of ARDS?   pulmonary edema and decreased lung compliance  
🗑
clinical manifestations of second ARDS stage?   -noisy tachypneic breathing -tachycardia -diaphoresis -decreased mentation -pallor, cyanosis (resp. distress) -XRAYS: extensive, bilateral infiltrates and cardiomegaly  
🗑
clinical manifestations of final ARDS stage?   -intubation and assisted ventilation -bronchial breath sounds -severe metabolic acidosis -death -XRAYS: white out/white lung  
🗑
complications of ARDS?   -disturbances in cardiac rhythm -secondary to bacterial infections -sepsis -stress ulcers -DIC  
🗑
most frequent histopathologic finding of ARDS?   capillary leakage  
🗑
