Clinically pulmonary edema is developed due to increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary capillary. This causes accumulation of fluid in the alveoli and the interstitium area. And finally manifested pink, tinged frothy sputum, it may cause serious lung diseases.
2, High altitude pulmonary edema (and high altitude cerebral edema) are the major causes of death from altitude sickness, triggered by hypoxic conditions. a. Recall that alveolar ventilation and blood flow to pulmonary capillaries are matched to maximize diffusion of oxygen into the blood. when climbers eceed about 2500m of altitude they experience significantly low levels of atmospheric oxygen. How does this affect the state of contraction of their pulmonary arterioles? b. How would hypoxix conditions affect pressure in the...
Describe pulmonary edema and list two causes. (500 words)
Answer in the booklet provided. A 64-ycar-old male patient was admitted to a hospital. He complained of chronic headaches that lasted for days, chest pain and shortness of breath when performing physical activity. He was coughing a pink- tinged frothy sputum. On examination he had a blood pressure of 192/122 mm Hg and pulmonary oedema The following data were obtained from the patient: Patient values Left ventricular systolic pressure (mm Hg) Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (mm Hg) Right atrial pressure...
1. Please explain the differences between pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary edema, and the relationship (cause/outcome) between them. 2. What are the potential conditions associated with hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly? Explain the pathogenesis of hepatomegaly for each condition.
7. Which of the following statement is false about asthma? Answer: a) A chronic pulmonary disease b) Causes difficulty getting air in (inspiration) c) Epithelium edema and bronchoconstriction causes airway narrowing d) Airway inflammation causes fluid and mucus buildup
George Brown, 72 years of age, is a male patient who is admitted with the diagnosis of acute pulmonary edema secondary to acute left ventricular heart failure. The patient has a history of coronary artery disease that has been treated medically. The patient is anxious, pale, cold, clammy, and dyspneic. The vital signs are: blood pressure 88/50 mm Hg, heart rate 110 bpm, respiratory rate 32 breaths/min, and temperature 97°F. There are bubbling crackles and wheezing throughout the lung fields...

4. Explain why the solution being titrated first turns pink then goes colorless before the endpoint is reached. 5. A student gets a dark pink color for trial 2 but uses that data to calculate the mass percent of acetic acid. Would the mass percent be too high or too low?
