6 Questions
What is the cause of absorption atelectasis when breathing high levels of oxygen?
Rapid depletion of nitrogen in alveoli and blood
What is the consequence of absorption atelectasis on blood oxygenation?
Worsening of blood oxygenation
Which conditions contribute to more rapid collapse in absorption atelectasis compared to normal lung?
Sedation, surgical pain, and CNS dysfunction
What is the earliest manifestation of oxygen toxicity when breathing 100% oxygen at one atmospheric pressure?
Acute tracheobronchitis
What is a consequence of breathing 100% oxygen over prolonged periods of time?
Diffuse alveolar damage
What contributes to the increased atelectasis when breathing 100% oxygen?
Alveolar absorption
Test your knowledge about absorption atelectasis and the risk of FiO2 greater than 0.5. Learn about the effects of denitrogenation and rapid depletion of nitrogen levels in alveoli and blood, leading to alveolar collapse and worsened blood oxygenation.
