Q

if patient vomits or has too much ng tube suctioning,

A

they are getting rid of acid, so our body has more base. This is alkylosis.

Q

kidneys get rid of

A

hydrogen ions, which are acidic.
if our kidneys are broken, we have too much acid. we have acidosis.

Q

intestines hold base (if it comes out your ass-icosis, then you’ll be in acidosis)

A

bicarbonate. so if pt poops out all the base, they have only acid left and becomes acidosis.

Q

respiratory acidosis (RR is sloooooow in acidooooosis)

A

low and slow RR (causes sleep apnea, head trauma) CNS depressants - dope and alcohol, benzos. pneumonia - bad gas exchange.

Q

compensated v uncompensated

A

always look at pH first.
fully compensated: pH is in normal range
uncompensated: pH is not in normal range

Q

partially compensated

A

pH not in normal range, but CO2 and HCO3 are high - trying to work it out.

Q

uncompensated

A

ph is not normal and CO2 is high

17
Q

kidneys control

A

bicarbonate and H (acid)

18
Q

kidneys regulate acid base by

A

excreting H in the urine, and retaining more base - bicarb

19
Q

if kidneys fail, then

A

acid prevails. we can’t get rid of H, so we go into acidosis

20
Q

if we vomit or have an ng tube, we get rid of

A

H (acid), and we get alkylosis
