5 Matching Questions

  1. Metabolic response: Anabolic Phase
  2. Acute Stress
  3. 3 phases of ARDS
  4. ARDS: Exudative Phase
  5. Severe Sepsis
  1. a Infection + 2 SIRS + organ dysfunction
  2. b Exudative, proliferative, and fibrotic
  3. c Body can handle
  4. d  1st few days
     Damage to endothelial & epithelial layers of alveoli leading to impaired gas exchange 
    • Acute inflammation
    • Pulmonary edema
    • Atelectasis (collapsed lungs)
    • Reduced lung compliance
    • ↑ work of breathing
    • *Give surfactant to reduce over workload of the lungs
  5. e  Characterized by:
    • Repletion of LBM & adipose tissue
    • Catabolic hormones & EE begin to ↓
     Pts remain significantly hypermetabolic
     The inability to meet energy & protein needs can lead to delays in wound healing, infectious complications & debilitation
     Can last for months
     *Still need increased energy & pro to replete
     BG has relation to wounds: If have ↑ BG, longer to heal

5 Multiple Choice Questions

  1. -Glycogen quickly depleted
    -LBM broken down, Gluconeogenesis.
    -Liver uses Alanine.
    -Muscles use BCAA. (By product urea).
    -Kidney uses Glutamine. (byproduct NH3)
  2.  Systemic process
     Sepsis
     Trauma
     Pancreatitis
     Fat emboli
     Shock/Hypoperfusion
  3. o ↑ Metabolic rate
    o Hyperglycemia
    o ↑ Glucagon = ↑ Gluconeogenesis
    o ↑ Cortisol = ↑ Gluconeogenesis
    o ↑ ACTH = ↑ Lipolysis, AA mobilization, glucagon release, inhibits insulin, prosynthesis, hyperglycemia
    o ↑ Growth hormone
     * ACTH: Acetocorticotrophic hormone
     *NOTE: Glucagon = catabolic; Insulin= Anabolic
  4. metabolic rate increases
  5. • Measures:
    o O2 consumption (VO2)
    o CO2 production (VCO2)
    • Calculates REE - Weir equation
    • Determines substrate utilizarion

5 True/False Questions

  1. Starvation-Preserve LBM
    -consume hepatic glycogen, FA

          

  2. Sepsis-Preserve hepatic mass
    -LBM loss---> AA fuel: hepatic acute phase proteins, gluconeogenesis
    -Hyperglycemia

          

  3. Metabolic cart-Measures O2 consumption and CO2 production
    -Calculates REE-weir equation
    -Determines Substrate utilization (RQ)

          

  4. Metabolic response:Stress phase (ebb phase) Characterized by:
    • ↑ Energy expenditure
    • Hypercatabolism
    • Proteolysis Gluconeogenesis
    • Protein catabolism
     Immunologic response also contributes to ↑ catabolism
    • ↑ Pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF, IL-1, IL-6
     Occurs after resuscitation & usually lasts 7-10 days

          

  5. Stresso ↑ Glucose uptake in peripheral tissues
    o ↑Lactate production  Gets recycled by Cori cycle  Lactate becomes Glu
    o Anaerobic Glycolysis
