A 70-year-old woman came into the emergency room with difficulty breathing…

  - - - Pressure of a gas decreases if the volume of the container increases
    - - Sum of all partial pressures is equal to the partial pressure of gas
    - - Solubility of a gas in a liquid is dependent upen partial pressure of gas in the air
      - Solubility coefficient of the gas in the liquid
    - - Pressure exerted by each gas within a mixture of gases
      - Measured in mmHg
      - Atompheric Pressure
        
        Total pressure all gases exert in the environment
        
        760mmHg
      - Tidal Volume
        
        500mL
        
        Amount of air inhaled or exhaled per breath during quiet breathing
      - Inspiratory Reserve Volume
        
        Amount of air inhaled that can be foribly inhaled beyond tidal volume
        
        3100mL
      - Expiratory Reserve Volume
        
        Amount of volume can be forcibly exhaled beyond tidal volume
        
        1100mL
      - High altitudes affect effects partial pressure by
        
        Decreases partial pressure of the atmosphere and te oxygen
        
        When you inhale less oxygen will be going into your lungs
  - - - Redness
      - Heat
      - Swelling
      - Pain
  - - - they exchanged between
        
        Alveoli
        
        To the respiratory membrance
        
        Pulmonary Cappillaries
    - - Oxygen ultimately diffuses from the blood (Hemoglobin) into the Alveoli
        
        More water vapor is inside the alveoli because of humidity being higher
    - - It is low in the blood of the pulmonary cappillaries
- - - - The air is different in Denver she isn't able to get as much oxygen as she normally gets
      - Or she isn't able to breathe out Carbon Dixoide
    - - Air sacs are inflamed in one of the lungs or both
        
        The air sacs are filled with fluid
      - Fever
      - Mucus
    - - She's 70
        
        Weakened immune system
        
        T helper cells aren't able to tell B cells to tell plasma calls to make antibodies
  - - - Other Systems Impacted
        
        Circulatory System/Cardiovascular System
        
        Fast Heartbeat
        
        Could be linked to a high fever
        
        Pneumonia can spread to the lungs into the bloodstream
        
        Can cause serious issues because it can damage organs or cause organ failure
        
        Septic Shook can occur if the virus is spread throughout the body
        
        Blood (Hemoglobin) is responsible for transferring oxygen to the body organs and removing excess carbon dioxide.
        
        if the organs in the body aren't getting enough oxygen there could be an excess amount of carbon dioxide in the tissues
        
        Immune System
        
        Is weakened and isn't able to fight off the viral infection
        
        Muscular System
        
        Since the muscles need oxygen
        
        The patient could feel weak
        
        Muscle weakness
        
        Muscle soreness
        
        Urinary System
        
        Patient could get a possible
        
        Urinary Tract Infection
        
        Digestive System
        
        Nausea
        
        Vomitting
        
        Patient could get a secondary infection
        
        Which could complicate the case
  - - - Proper gas exchange isn't happening because of this
      - This compromises gas exchange meaning there isn't enough oxygen filling up lungs
        
        This leads to carbon dixode not leaving the tissue in the body too
        
        into the atomsphere
- - - - to live closer to daughter
  - - - She isn't used to this high elevation and the cold weather
      - Air quality is different from Forth Worth
    - - Her immune system isn't as strong as when she was younger
      - Prone to get sick easily
