TIPS

Do lots of practice problems!

TRICKS (thanks to MedicalMnemonics.com and elsewhere)

carotid SinuS: measures preSSure.
carotid bO2dy measures O2.

Left shift: causes Loading of O2 in Lungs.
Right shift: causes Release of O2 from Hb.

Heart valves closure sequence:
"Many Things Are Possible":
Mitral, Tricuspid, Aortic, Pulmonic

Acidosis vs alkalosis: directions of pH and HCO3
ROME:
Respiratory= Opposite:
· pH is high, PCO2 is down (Alkalosis).
· pH is low, PCO2 is up (Acidosis).
Metabolic= Equal:
· pH is high, HCO3 is high (Alkalosis).
· pH is low, HCO3 is low (Acidosis).

BRS Physiology by Costanzo, 4th edition, errata:

In Cardiovascular and Respiratory Chapters:
p. 111, Question 57. Change choice (C) from angiotensin II to angiotensinogen. Also adjust explanation.
p. 134, D, 1. Under "where" list, the last entry should be PaO2 (arterial PO2)
p. 139, Fig 4-12. V/Q for pulmonary embolus should be infinity
