Q

Explain the link between the heat and the lungs

A

Heart will pump blood to lungs which will become oxygenated and then heart will redistribute to tissues. This means that if one organ is affected (i.e. lungs are affected in COPD .. and therefore will likely also impact the heart)

Q

90% of the CO2 is found within the blood is in the form of ____

A

Bicarbonate ion (HCO3-)

47
Q

Since CO2 is dissolved within the blood (H2O), this will produce carbonic acid. What does carbonic acid dissociate into?Does this increase or decrease ph?

A

Dissociates into H+ and into HCO3-. Increase in H+ alongside HCO3- means that pH will DECREASE = more acidic

48
Q

Increase Co2 ___ pH

A

Decreases

49
Q

When does respiratory acidosis occur?

A

In hypoventilation when we cannot expire the CO2, blood becomes more acidic as H+ accumulates

50
Q

How does the body compensate in respiratory acidosis?

A

Kidney increases excretion of H+ and will retain HCO3- with either Na+ or K+

51
Q

When does respiratory alkalosis occur?

A

Increase blood pH due to hyperventilation, where more CO2 expired and less H+ within the blood

52
Q

How will the body compensate in respiratory alkalosis?

A

Kidney will conserve H+ and will excrete Na+ or K+

53
Q

What does respiratory alkalosis and acidosis depend on?

A

The amount of CO2 in the blood (NOT the amount of O2)

54
Q

What is metabolic acidosis?

A

All types of acidosis that are NOT causes by excessive CO2 (and therefore H+)

55
Q

What is metabolic alkalosis?

A

All types of alkalosis NOT related by low levels of CO2 (and there fore H+)

56
Q

Example of metabolic acidosis?

Extreme diarrhea and loss of base

A

A metabolic syndrome where inflammation and underlying illness is the key feature.

85
Q

Cachexia can be an underlying condition of ___

A

sarcopenia

86
Q

A

Weight loss

87
Q

What happens when the GI tract does not receive enough oxygen, such as in COPD?

A

Reduced peristalsis, digestion of food

88

103
Q

RQ =

A

Co2 produced/O2 consumed

104
Q

RQ CHO =

A

1

105
Q

Lowest RQ?

A

Fat

106
Q

What was the theory of high fat diets and tube fed patients?

A

If we feed high fat, there will be less CO2 produced per O2 consumed to oxidize the FA (i.e. less work for breathing)

107
Q

Does the high fat/less breathing theory work?

A

No, and high fat meals may induce satiety and GI disturbances –> Lead to less eating

108
Q

(T/F) COPD patients struggle with malabsorption

A

F, more issues with not receiving enough oxygen to GI tract, which means everything is slowed down and in distress

109
Q

Why is overfeeding common?

A

When using the predictive energy equation with stress factors, we may over estimate EE requirement

110
Q

What is the issue with overfeeding?

A

If we provide too many calories, and patient is not properly ventilated they may not consume enough O2 for the O2 produced in metabolism –> Metabolic acidosis (lots of H+ build-up)

111
Q

When is underfeeding beneficial?

A

When we want to reduce stress on uings in a critical care situation

112
Q

When is enteral feeding required?

A

In mechanical ventilation, as the trachea is opened

113
Q

When may oral feeding be OK?

A

MAYBE for tracheostomy, some foods only. Usually need tube-feeding
