A. PAO2: ________ _ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same
B. PACO2: ______ _ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same
C. PCO2: _________ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same
D. PCCO2: ________ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same
E. pH: __________ _ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same
Introduction:
Upper airway obstruction is a clinical condition characterized by the presence of blockage in the upper airway that includes the trachea, the larynx, or the voice box, and the throat. Blockage in the upper airway prevents the body from getting enough oxygen. Upper airway obstruction leads to the diminishing of pulmonary ventilation.

- Case 2 1. This patient demonstrated both obstructive and restrictive lung disorders. During the first part of the case, which pulmonary function studies verified that the patient had an obstructive pulmonary disorder? _______________________ ________________________arrow_forwardCase 2 As the airway resistance increased in this case, the alveoli distal to the bronchial constriction required (shorter______; longer_______) time to inflate. These alveoli are said to have a (short______; long _________) time constant.arrow_forwardCase 2 As fluid accumulated in the patients alveoli, the diffusion of oxygen into the pulmonary capillaries decreased. This was verified by the __________________________________.arrow_forward
- The residual volume/total lung capacity ratio in healthy men ages 20 to 30 years is A. 15% B. 20% C. 25% D. 30%arrow_forwardIf an individual fully inhales to a total lung capacity of 4.5 L at sea level (760 mm Hg) and dives to a depth of 66 feet, the lungs will be compressed to about A. 1.0 L B. 1.5 L C. 2.0 L D. 2.5 Larrow_forwardCase 2 The patient's fatigue and respiratory rate of 6 breaths/min further caused the ventilation- perfusion ratio to (______rise;________ fall).arrow_forward

As a result of the previously described condition, the patient's right lung__________, which in turn caused an acute (decreased ______; increased_____) lung compliance condition.arrow_forward3. During acute alveolar hyperventilation, the blood 1. increases 2. decreases 3. increases 4. pH decreases A. 2 only B. 4 only C. 1 and 3 only D. 2 and 4 onlyarrow_forward
- Case 1 As a result of the severe left heart failure and increased pulmonary blood pressure in the case, fluid moved out of the pulmonary capillaries and into the extracapillary spaces. The pathologic process caused the thickness of the alveolar-capillary membrane to______arrow_forwardCase 1 When the patient was in the emergency department what pulmonary function measurement served as an important clinical indicator of the severity of the patient's asthma attack?arrow_forward9.
