Nitrogen Narcosis — Flashcards

#1

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:_____ in pulmonary ventilation upon rising to a high altitude* blows off large quantities of CO2, reducing the PCO2

#2

Stimulation of nerve endings on the surface of the body by cold water causes _____ leading to Hydrocution/Immersion syndrome

#3

_____ narcosis has characteristics similar to those of alcohol intoxication

#4

High altitude initially causes _____ alkalosis and hypoxia, which may cause acute altitude sickness

#5

Cardiac arrhythmias leading to ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation are commonly seen in _____water drowning ONLY

#6

ascent should not be > _____ meters/minute to avoid mountain sickness

#7

mountain sickness is seen in altitudes of >_____ meters

#8

In response to high altitude, there is chronic hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction which results in pulmonary _____ and RV hypertrophy

#9

Exercise adaptation at high altitudes:To make up for the respiratory alkalosis, kidneys _____ hydrogen ion secretion and increase bicarbonate excretion.
