Joanne, a diabetic patient, is at the emergency department with acidosis due to the production of ketone bodies. Would you expect her ventilation to be increased or decreased? Why?
Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: Which of the following would not normally be treated by 100% oxygen therapy? (Choose all that apply.) (a) anoxia, (b) carbon monoxide poisoning, (c) respiratory crisis in an emphysema patient, (d) eupnea.
Callisto is on the run again. She risks crossing a frozen lake, but the ice is thin, and she falls through into the ice-cold water. She manages to drag herself out, but not before breathing in a large quantity of water. This water reaches and fills some of her alveoli. She coughs up all the water, but this has diluted the surfactant within her lungs. She collapses from exhaustion.
a) Describe the consequence of having less than optimal amount of surfactant in the alveoli on breathing and provide your rationale
b) Callisto has a flask of whiskey in her bag. She knows from experience that alcohol makes her flushed, it causes peripheral vasodilation, which makes her feel warmer. Considering that she is exposed to a cold environment, discuss the benefits or disadvantages of the fact that alcohol causes cutaneous vasodilation. Explain how this effect of alcohol affects her ability to maintain constant body temperature in a cold environment.
c) Callisto drinks some of the whiskey from her…
