Type II pneumocytes - ✔✔surfactant (*lecithin*)
Proliferate after injury
Type I progenitors
*Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome*
Polio live v killed vaccine - ✔✔Killed = Salk = IgG
Live = Sabin = IgG + IgA
- can be shed in feces
Neonatal Respiratory Distress:
Etiology + Tx - ✔✔Maternal DM (*high insulin*)
or C-section (*low cortisol*)
TX: *dexamethasone* before birth
Lung maturity determined with - ✔✔Amniocentesis of Phospholipids (*type II pneumocytes)
L >> S
Type I pneumocytes - ✔✔Squamous gas diffusion
Elastase in lungs - ✔✔macrophage: *lysosomes*
PMN: *azuronphilic granules*
Elastin stretches and recoils due to - ✔✔Lysine interchain crosslinks
air pressure and
intrapleural pressure at FRC - ✔✔Air pressure = 0
,Intrapleural pressure = -5
Pulm Vasc Resistance is lowest during - ✔✔Exhale of Tidal Volume
Lung Compliance is decreased by - ✔✔LHF, pulmonary edema,
pulmonary fibrosis
Lung Compliance is increased by - ✔✔emphysema, age
Obesity affects ERV and FRC - ✔✔DECREASE
ERV & FRC
Blood flow/min (pulmonary v systemic) - ✔✔pulmonary = systemic
Anatomic pulmonary shunting - ✔✔Bronchial circulation causes
*decreased PO2 in LA/LV*
than in pulmonary capillaries
More ventilation is at the - ✔✔BASE
O2-Hgb dissociation LEFT shift - ✔✔basic, cold, low 2,3 BPG
low pO2 (compensatory erythrocytosis)
O2-Hgb dissociation RIGHT shift - ✔✔low pH, high 2,3BPG, high T
HOT, ACIDIC
CO2 transport to lungs - ✔✔*carbonic anhydrase*
Cl shift
*Haldane*: CO2 released to lung
,(*Bohr*: O2 release to tissue)
CO poisoning causes - ✔✔carboxyhemoglobin
no affect on PaO2
Cyanide poisoning causes - ✔✔lactic acidosis
How to treat cyanide poisoning - ✔✔*Amyl nitrite* --> Methemoglobin
THEN *Thiosulfate* (hydroxycobalamin)
Normal A-a gradient - ✔✔5-15
Hypoventilation: Heroin OD or high altitude
Increased A-a gradient - ✔✔*Diffusion impairment* (fibrosis)
*R-L shunt* (aspiration, ARDS)
*V/Q mismatch* (pulmonary edema
AT --> AT II

Pulsus Paradoxus occurs in - ✔✔Cardiac Tamponade
Kussmaul sign - ✔✔JVP rises *during inspiration*
Constrictive Pericardiditis
Restrictive/Interstitial Lung Disease:
A-a, FVC, FEV1, EFR - ✔✔Airway widening due to *radial traction* from fibrosis
