Theme 1. Main mechanisms of external breathing disorder

Theme 2. Hypoxia

Aim: To be able to analyse violation of the external breathing as display of pulmonary disease and pathology other organs and systems. To be able to differentiate the types of gipoksiy and account for the mechanisms of basic compensate reactions.

Professional motivation

The disorder of external breath arise for want of operation of the various factors of the external and internal environment, however all of them on the mechanism of development are united in three groups - ventilating, diffusing and perfusing. Most seriosly by manifestation of disorder of external breath the respiratory unsufficiency is, as a result of which the gas structure of blood is changed and arises dispnea. On character of dispnea it is possible to make submission about the reason of a pathology. In particular, the deep and often breath arises for want of intimately – cardiac vascular of unsufficiency and anemias, deep and rare - for want of stenosis of respiratory paths, often and surface - for want of inflammation or edema easy.

Rather frequently respiratory unsufficiency arises for want of disorder regulation of influences on the part of respiratory centre. Excitability of respiratory centre is reduced for want of damages of the central nervous system: a sclerosis, spasms of vessels of a brain, insults, squeezing of a brain by a tumour, toxicel operation on respiratory centre of somnolent and narcotic preparations. The periodic breath, which for want of it arises, testifies to an oppression of respiratory centre. The breath of a type Cheyne-Stokes’ is more often observed for want of functional changes, and breath of a type Biott - for want of organic damages of a brain. From peripheral mechanisms primary significance have the violations of adequate reduction of respiratory muscles.

The problem of an oxygen deficiency invokes practical concern in clinic of internal illnesses (preventive maintenance and treatment of a myocardial infarction, diseases of the system of breathing, anemias), in neurologic clinic (preventive maintenance and treatment of ischemic damages of the brain), in surgical clinic (treatment obliteric endarteriitis, operations on life important organs), in obstetric practice (strife with a hypoxia of a fetus and neonatal). Professional selection of high-resistant to hypoxia people, and also acclimatization to an oxygen depletion has become a relevant problem of medicine.

3. Right answers for tests and real-life tasks:

Theme № 1 practical lesson

Tests: 1 – A, 2 – B, 3 – D, 4 – Е, 5 – В.

 

Task 1

1. The low partial pressure of oxygen in atmospheric air on mountain is the reason hypoxia. Hypoxic blood irritates chemoreceptors of carotid sinus and aortic zones. From here stimulating impulses enter in respiratory centre in result the breath becomes often and deep.

2. Strengthened breath bents for oneself washout from blood of carbonic acid, which is physiological stimulus of respiratory centre. As a result of it the oppression of breath occurs.

3. Arises gaseus alkalosis as result of the strengthened separation of carbonic acid through lung.

4.   It is better - carbogen (О2 - 95 %, СО2 - 5 %).

Task 2

1. Overdosage of narcotic substance reduces exitability of respiratory centre, as results in an oppression of breath.

2. The contents of oxygen decreases, and carbonic acid is increased.

3.  It is connected with accumulation desoxyhemoglobin, which gives to tissues blue .

4.   The rare and weak pulse has arisen as a result of an oppression of activity intimately – cardiovascular centre.

 

Theme №2 practical lesson

 

Tests: 1 – C, 2 – E, 3 – B, 4 – D, 5 – D.

 

Task 1

1. Outgoing from indexes of a blood, it is possible to approve, that the organism of the patient is supplied with oxygen insufficiently. He has the decreased contents of oxygen in a blood (norm - 19,0 volumetric %), contents of an oxyhemoglobin (norm - 95 %) and pressure of oxygen in an arterial blood (norm- about 100 mm Hg).

2. The condition of poor supply of tissues of an organism with oxygen, appropriate to the patient is called hypoxia (oxygen deficiency). Detected changes of respiratory indexes of a blood are characteristic for hypoxic hypoxia.

3. The hypoxia of the patient is conditioned by the mixing of saturated oxygen of an arterial blood and oxygen-deficient venous one. In the total the general contents of oxygen in a blood is lowered.

4. For correction of oxygen balance for given patient it is possible to recommend inhalation of CO2 and operational elimination of an arterial venous anastomosis.

Task 2

1. It is possible to approve about availability of a hypoxia of the patient on the basis of an analysis blood (decreasing of quantity of erythrocytes and haemoglobin content).

2. This hypoxia falls into haemic type.

3. Reduction of oxygen capacity of blood.

4. If there are no concomitant diseases of organs of cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the pressure of oxygen and contents of an oxyhemoglobin in an arterial blood will be maximum. An acceleration of pulse and breathing promotes this.

5. Adequate measure of elimination of a hypoxia for given patient is considered to be blood or red cell mass transfusion and assigning of medical agents, which stimulate hemopoesis.
