Why does hypercapnia develop in severe COPD? Right Ans - Hypercarbia
can be avoided for some time through hyperventilation. Eventually, work of
breathing is too much. Over time, chemoreceptors reset, allowing for a higher
PaCO2.
Why is the unregulated use of O2 in severe COPD/chronic hypercapnia
detrimental? Right Ans - Excessive supplemental O2 causes further
increases in PaCO2 due to increased dead space ventilation (V:Q >1). This is
excessive ventilation relative to capillary blood flow (no gas exchange is
occuring).
What conditions increase physiologic dead space? Right Ans - Alveolar-
capillary interface destruction (emphysema); decreased blood flow (low CO);
overdistended alveoli (positive-pressure ventilation)
Haldane Effect Right Ans - States that deoxygenated hemoglobin picks up
more CO2 while oxygenated blood has reduced capacity for CO2. Thus,
increased uptake of CO2 in venous blood is caused by oxyhemoglobin
desaturation.
