Question
Answer
Normal oxygen sat.   92 to 99  
🗑
On the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve a shift to the left means   hypoxemia, hypothermic, alkalosis the hemoglobin is holding onto oxygen  
🗑
On the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve a shift to the right means   patient is hyperthermin or pao2 is slightly highter, hemaglobin lets go of oxygen easier  
🗑
You do not want your pao2 less than   60  
🗑
how is the right bronchi different than the left   shorter and more direct angle  
🗑
The movement of air between the alveoli and the atmosphere   Ventilation  
🗑
Movement of CO2 and O2 between alveoli and capillaries   Diffusion  
🗑
movement of O2 from the lungs to the tissues and from the tissues to the lung   transport  
🗑
a measurement of the distensibility of the pulmonary tissue   Lung compliance  
🗑
a measurement of the opposition of flow of gases through the airway   airway resistance  
🗑
increases the work of breathing and requires more pressure to ventilate the patient   todecreased compliance or increased resistance  
🗑
tidal volume X resp rate =   minute volume  
🗑
air moved in and out of the lungs in one min   Minute volume  
🗑
normal VE (minute volume)   6-10  
🗑
results when resp rate or tidal volume are inadequate and there is an increase in PaCO2 and hypoventilation occurs   low VE less than 6  
🗑
response to high CO2 production, CNS response in attempt to maintain normal PaCO2   high VE greater than 10  
🗑
High VE and and increase in PaCO2 equals   patient cant meet ventilatory demand leading to resp failure  
🗑
optimal gas exchange occurs when thre is ideal matching of   ventilation and perfusion  
🗑
shunt blood from the right heart to the left heart with out picking up O2   anatomic shunt  
🗑
not enough ventilation but good perfusion   Physiologic shunt  
🗑
more ventilation with poor perfusion   physiologic deadspace  
🗑
primary cause of hypoxemia   shunting  
🗑
treatment for a VQ mismatch   cough, suction, lung expansion therapy and mobilize the patient  
🗑
esitmated shunt refers to   PaO2/FiO2 ratio  
🗑
the oxygen dissolved in the serum is refered to   PaO2  
🗑
the oxygen combined with Hgb is refered to as   SaO2  
🗑
this tells the amount of tissue perfusion   SvO2  
🗑
the measure of total amount of O2 carried in the blood including the plasma   CaO2  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
