Study Notes

Anesthesiology VV - ARDS

  • ARDS timing: within 2 weeks of a known clinical insult (1 week)
  • Abdominal sepsis can be a cause of ARDS (true)
  • Tidal volume adjustment: based on patient weight (5ml/kg) is true
  • ARDS includes lung edema and increased permeability of alveolar capillary membrane (true)
  • COVID-19 pneumonia pathophysiology is somewhat similar to ARDS, but not identical (false)
  • ARDS reduces respiratory system compliance (true)
  • Lung edema due to increased capillary hydrostatic pressure is generally not a feature of ARDS (true)
  • Prone position:
    • Not effective only in COVID-19 pneumonia (false)
    • Not typically considered for PaO2/FiO2 values > 150 mmHg (false)
    • Can often improve hypoxemia, though mechanism isn't fully understood (true)
    • Widely used worldwide (true)
    • Redistributes lung densities toward dependent lung regions (true)
  • PEЕР application in severe ARDS:
    • Always indicated (generally, but specifics depend on the patient) (true)
    • Dependent on lung density distribution (true)
    • Should ideally be based on potential for lung recruitment (true)
    • Should not exceed 10cmH2O (false)
    • May correct hypoxemia by reducing right-to-left shunting (true)

Acid-base Equilibrium

  • Stewart's approach: pH is independently regulated by pCO2, A-, and SID (false. pCO2, strong acids/bases, and SID are related)
  • SID (strong ion difference) is the difference between strong cations and strong anions (true)
  • Hypoalbuminemia doesn't cause metabolic acidosis. Instead, it can cause metabolic alkalosis. (false)
  • Saline solution per se can lead to hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis (true)
  • Chloride excretion is higher in respiratory acidosis. (false)
  • Chloride excretion may increase to compensate for increased bicarbonate reabsorption (true)
  • pH is independent of volatile acids, PCO2, and bicarbonate. (false. It is inter-dependent)
  • SID is equal to the difference between anions and cations (false)
  • High pCO2 alone doesn't decrease bicarbonate (false. Increases it to compensate)
  • Ketoacidosis is not due to increased chloride. (false)
  • In respiratory acidosis: increased PaCO2 leads to increased bicarbonate to compensate
  • Kidneys increase chloride excretion in chronic respiratory acidosis. (true)
  • pH is not generally higher than 7.45 (false)

Potassium Metabolism and Balance

  • Daily potassium requirement is about 2-4 mmol/kg (true)
  • Plasma K+ level > 5.5 mmol/L may not always show ECG alterations (false)
  • K+ supplementation in DKA patients should start only when K+ concentration is > 3.5 mmol/L (false)
  • Rhabdomyolysis is associated with severe hyperkalemia (true)
