Question
Chapter 18, Problem 24RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason why a patient will stop breathing if he is supplied with pure oxygen when the patient is suffering from severe chronic obstructive lung disease.
Introduction: Carbon dioxide is the most important chemical controller of ventilation. It enters the blood-brain barrier and activates the receptors. The peripheral and chemoreceptors mediate the process of ventilation. These receptors provide a continuous input into the network which controls the ventilation.

A 14-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis has complained of an increased cough productive of green
utum over the last week. She also complained of being increasingly short of breath, and she
is noticeably wheezing on physical examination. Arterial blood was drawn and sampled.
revealing the following values:
pH
PCO2
pO2
7.30
50 mm Hg
55 mm Hg
45 %
Hemoglobin - O2 saturation
[HCO3-]
24 meq / liter
Answer the following Questions:
1. What causes cystic fibrosis? Describe the pathophysiologic mechanisms of the disease.
2. How would you classify this girl's acid-base status?
A common laboratory test for a patient is to measure blood gases—that is, the partial pressures of O 2 and CO 2 in oxygenated blood. Normal values are 100 mm Hg for O 2and 40 mm Hg for CO 2. A high or low level of one or both readings has some underlying cause. Offer an explanation for each of the following situations. a. If a patient comes in agitated and hyperventilating—breathing very rapidly—the partial pressure of O 2 is normal but the partial pressure of CO 2 is 22 mm Hg. b. A patient with chronic lung disease has a partial pressure of O 2 of 60 mm Hg and a partial pressure of CO 2of 60 mm Hg.
