Study Notes

Factors Affecting Lung Compliance

  • Lung tissue compliance is affected by emphysema and fibrosis
  • Compliance refers to the ability of lung tissue to distend or expand

Conditions Leading to Atelectasis

  • Atelectasis is the collapse of alveoli, preventing normal gas exchange
  • Conditions leading to atelectasis include emphysema and fibrosis

Factors Influencing Diffusion in the Lungs

  • Factors influencing diffusion in the lungs include airway resistance and diameter
  • Decreased airway diameter increases airway resistance, limiting oxygen delivery to alveoli

Role of Surfactant in Gas Exchange

  • Surfactant plays a crucial role in gas exchange by facilitating the movement of air into and out of the lungs

Conditions Affecting Respirations

  • Conditions that can increase airway resistance include COPD, emphysema, and fibrosis
  • Conditions that can lead to respiratory acidosis include COPD, emphysema, and fibrosis
  • Conditions that can lead to respiratory alkalosis include hyperventilation
  • Conditions that can lead to hypoxia include atelectasis, COPD, emphysema, and fibrosis

Regulation of Respiration

  • Normal range for PaO2 in ABG values is 75-100 mmHg
  • Normal range for PaCO2 in ABG values is 35-45 mmHg
  • Normal range for SpO2 in ABG values is 95-100%

Cardiopulmonary Functioning

  • The process by which oxygenated capillary blood passes through the body tissues is called perfusion
  • Factors that can increase perfusion include increased cardiac output and decreased peripheral resistance

Cardiac Output and Conduction System

  • Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute
  • Components of cardiac output include heart rate, stroke volume, and contractility
  • The conduction system of the heart includes the sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers
