Young skier recovering from tibial fracture suddenly develops right sided chest pain and tachypnea..which finding most likely
a. pO2 125 pCO2 60
b. pO2 125 pCO2 20
c. pO2 100 pCO2 40
d. pO2 80 pCO2 20
e. pO2 80 pCO2 60



  #2

E, pulmonary embolism

E...

  #4

the patient has tachypnea so D

  #5

This is a case of pulmonary embolism.

This guy is hyperventilating, not hypoventilating: pCO2 cannot be normal (40 mmHg) or increased (60 mmHg).

The correct answer is D:

pCO2 is 20 mmHg (hyperventilation)

pO2 is 80 mmHg (mild hypoxemia).






  #6

But in pulmonary embolism, there is an anormal V/Q. Does it lead to increased PCO2 and decreased PO2?

at the very beginning NO, then yes. the patient is tachpneic right now...

This is good reasoning. [yes, sometimes they say "he's blowing off his CO2]

Why not B? Pulmonary embolism is OK.
PAO2 (alveolar) will go up (125 ) with CO2 down (20). pO2 should be balanced with PAO2.
Any reason pO2 cannot be elevated?

  #10

and there you have it cool,
tachypnea pCO2 20 and pO2 80

D



  #11

D

  #12

during normal breathing or abnormal breathing at 1 atmosphere 760 mm Hg I have never heard of PO2 going to 120

Remember this equation?
PAO2 = (760 - 47)x0.21 - PCO2/R
R is 0.8
If CO2 is 20, PAO2 will be 125 exactly. Give me an explanation if O2 does not go up, what others occupy the space then...
So, I go to B.

  #14

wont pulmonary embolism cause hypoxemia ?ie dec of O2 conc?

thanks

  #15

Yes if you read the question it is about pulmonay embolism
please read the fromthe top again
