Jun 19, 2010 · I'm just trying to understand how blood pH changes in COPD patients as the disease progresses. Let me know if there's anything wrong with my reasoning. In the initial stages of COPD, you have low pO2 and high pCO2. the high pCO2 causes chronic respiratory acidosis, with compensation from the kidney.

Aug 4, 2016 · 3. In the COPD 50/50 Club, the dead-space effect tends to predominate, but you actually have both kinds of V/Q mismatch to varying extent. 4. Yes about the Haldane effect. 5. I wish the central respiratory drive myth would just die. The vast majority of evidence is against it. Abdo WF, Heunks LM. Oxygen-induced hypercapnia in COPD: myths and facts.

Apr 20, 2008 · I'm interested in COPD and Asthma, but ive never met an obstructive disease patient that couldnt be managed by an internist. Honestly, Im not THAT interested. Im more interested in lung CA, sarcoidosis, pulmonary vascular disease, rheumatological lung disease and pulmonary-renal syndromes, as well as pre/post lung surgery patients.

Jan 22, 2006 · Pulmonary Physicians manage basic Pulmonary disease, such as COPD, asthma (which can go to Allergy as well), Interstitial Lung Disease (Sarcoid, GoodPastures, etc.), Pleural Effusions in both the in-patient and out-patient settings. They can use their critical care background to manage Ventilators in the ICU.

Aug 8, 2011 · For many specialties with a fellowship, what you learned in medical school AND residency don't matter very much. Example: gastroenterology. A GI doctor who does 15 scopes in one day probably don't remember anything about managing CHF or COPD exacerbation in his IM residency, not to mention pathology and Ob-Gyn in medical school.

Jul 29, 2007 · you seem to have the basic gist of it. 1/2 normal saline means that the concentration of Na and Cl is half that of normal saline, so the overall solution is hypotonic instead of isotonic.

Jun 25, 2011 · Calculate the pH of the solution containing 3.875g of Na 2 HPO 4 (MW. = 141.98 g/mol) that has been dissolved in a 250 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark. The three equilibria values for H 3 PO 4, H 2 PO 4-, and HPO 42-are: Ka1 = 7.11 x 10 ^ -3 Ka2 = 6.34 x 10 ^ -8 Ka3 = 4.22 x 10 ^ -11 I get pH = 5.67, but that is incorrect.

Oct 16, 2023 · With a lot of MD students getting acceptances today I figured I'd start our acceptances thread for this cycle. Good luck, everyone! This is copied from last year's thread. ******** This is the thread for the 2023-2024 cycle for matriculation in the summer/fall of 2024. Congratulations on...
