Respiratory Physiology

§Three Integrated Processes

§Pulmonary ventilation—Moving air into and out of the respiratory tract; breathing

§Gas exchange —Diffusion between alveoli and circulating blood, and between blood and interstitial fluids

§Gas transport—Movement of oxygen from alveoli to cells, and carbon dioxide from cells to alveoli

§Gas Exchange

§External respiration—Diffusion of gases between alveolar air and pulmonary capillary blood across the respiratory membrane

§Internal respiration—Diffusion of gases between blood and interstitial fluids across the capillary endothelium

The patient was found to have chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis and she was taken to the operating room. PROCEDURE: The patient received Ancef 1 gram intravenously preoperatively. She was prepped and draped in the usual manner. An infra umbilical incision was made; the abdomen was entered under direct vision. Two stay sutures of 0 Vicryl were placed on either side of the incision. The Hasson sheath was then inserted. The abdomen was then inflated with CO2 gas. Three additional ports were then placed. The hilum of the gallbladder was then dissected free. The cystic duct and cystic arteries were identified. The cystic duct was clipped with three white clips and divided. The cystic arteries were clipped with three white clips and divided. There was another small branch of the artery encountered up on the gallbladder bed. This was also clipped with three white clips and divided. The gallbladder was then dissected free from the gallbladder bed using hook cautery. The specimen was placed in a bag and brought out through a lateral port. The lateral port fascia was approximated with 0 Vicryl sutures. The operative area was thoroughly irrigated and the incisions were then closed with 3-0 Vicryl sutures for the subcutaneous tissues and a 4-0 Vicryl subcuticular stitch for the skin.
