1. What effect does pulmonary edema have on blood oxygenation?

2. What is the consequence to the newborn if the foramen ovale does not close after birth?

Solution

1.

Pulmonary edema occurs due to abnormal accumulation of the fluid in air sacs that is alveoli which makes the breathing much difficult.

Due to accumulation of the fluid there will be a difficulty in exchange of the gases and it leads to the respiratory failure.

This pulmonary edema condition is commonly seen in elders.

When heart pumps in abnormal way then the blood back up into the veins and then we can observe the increase in the blood pressure.

Pulmonary edema occurs mainly by the increase in the blood pressure that causes the damage to the small blood vessels in the lungs and it leads to the accumulation of watery fluid and it leads to the respiratory failure.

Thus the effect of pulmonary edema observed on blood oxygenation.

2.

Foramen ovale is actually named as patent foramen ovale (PFO ).

Patent foramen ovale is a hole between the left and right atria of the heart.

This hole can be observed in baby’s when they are in womb and it may disappear when they comes out from mother’s womb but sometimes it may get failure.

In most of the cases there won’t be any complications but in rare cases it get complicated by forming the blood clots.

In paradoxical stroke, a blood clot develops in a vein and it travels to the right side of the heart and then normally continues to the lungs but in PFO people it continues to the left side of the heart.

Now it pumps outside of the body and travel to the brain and it prevents blood flow to the brain.

Thus the consequences occur in new born if the foramen ovale does not close after birth.
