Hypercarbia and Hypoxemia11.7.11
What happens to our cells if we don’t get enough O2?
What happens to our cells if we don’t get enough O2?
Cannot make ATP
What happens to our cells if we don’t remove CO2?
What happens to our cells if we don’t remove CO2?
CO2 is not bad by itself but can combine with H2O in the blood makes carbonic acid change in pH can cause structure changes in proteins if 3D structure can lead to loss in function.

Saturation with H2O in the lung space decreases the PO2

Causes of Hypoxemia
1. Diffusion Impairment
2. V/Q Abnormalities
3. Shunt
4. Hypoventilation
Diffusion impairment
PAO2
PcapO2
T
A
.VO2 = K x A x (PAO2 – PaO2)/T
Diffusion impairment .VO2 = K x A x (PAO2 – PcapO2)/T
How does the rate of transport change with:
-Increased thickness, ie. with fibrosis?
-Decreased surface area, ie pneumonia?
-Decreased PcapO2, less O2 in the capillary blood?
Diffusion impairment .VO2 = K x A x (PAO2 – PcapO2)/T
How does the rate of transport change with:
-Increased thickness, ie. with fibrosis?
Slow-Decreased surface area, ie pneumonia?
Slow-Decreased PcapO2, less O2 in the capillary blood?
fast, increased diffusion
V/Q Abnormalities
0Upper parts of the lung receive more/less blood supply than the lower parts (gravity).
0Upper parts of the lung also receive more/ less of the tidal volume.
V/Q Abnormalities
0Upper parts of the lung receive more/less blood supply than the lower parts (gravity).
0Upper parts of the lung also receive more/ less of the tidal volume.
V/Q Abnormalities
0The result is that the upper parts of the lung receive relatively more/less ventilation than they do blood flow, while the lower parts of the lung receive relatively more/less ventilation than they do blood flow.

Shunt
Definition:
Let’s take a short cut! But is it a good short cut?
Shunt
Definition:
When blood passes from the right heart to the left heart without becoming oxygenated?
ShuntWhich causes blood to go from the right to left heart without going through the lungs?
A. Foreign object (ie. Peanut)B. Bronchial circulationC. Pneumonia or abundant pusD. Foramen Ovale
ShuntWhich causes blood to go from the right to left heart without going through the lungs?
A. Foreign object (ie. Peanut)B. Bronchial circulationC. Pneumonia or abundant pusD. Foramen Ovale
ShuntBronchial circulation- only goes through the larger airways and does not reach the alveolar region
Foramen Ovale- system established in utero that may not close when the baby is born
Shunt
What happens with these two?
Foreign object (ie. Peanut)Pneumonia or abundant pus
Shunt
What happens with these two?Foreign object (ie. Peanut)
Pneumonia or abundant pus
Blood goes through the lungs but does not come into contact with the gas exchange region.
Does hypoventilation cause hypoxemia or hypercarbia?
Does hypoventilation cause hypoxemia or hypercarbia?
BOTH!!
Hypoventilation
What things can cause hypoventilations?1.
2.
3.

Hypoventilation
What things can cause hypoventilations?1. Problems with nerves
2. Problems with muscles
3. Drugs that suppress resp. drive (morphine)
4. Problems with central resp. drive (CCHS, Ondine’s)
Hypercarbia
In addition to hypoventilation,
Think ALVEOLAR VENTILATIONThink DEAD SPACE
How to calculate alveolar ventilation?
How to calculate alveolar ventilation?
VA = (VT V‑ D) x f
What happens when you increase dead space?
VA = (VT V‑ D) x f
What happens when you increase dead space?
VA = (VT V‑ D) x f
Incr. dead space decrease alveolar ventilation increase PaCO2 = hypercarbia if above 40 mmHg
Dead Space
Name 3 things that cause changes in dead space.
Equipment
-Snorkel-Gas Mask-Ventilator
Deep Vein Thrombosis
How does DVT cause dead space?
Deep Vein Thrombosis
How does DVT cause dead space?Sedentary blood clot travels to lung embolus creates dead space decreased gas exchange air in and out is unchanged
Air can get in but gas exchange surface is destroyed.
