Acid-Base Balance Flashcards
1
Q
normal pH
A
7.35-7.45
2
Q
increased/decreased hydrogen =
A
increased hydrogen = decreased pH
decreased hydrogen = increased pH
3
Q
buffers
A
- release hydrogen
- bicarbonate
- phosphate system
- protein buffers
4
Q
CO2 values
A
- normal = 35-45
- increased CO2 = decreased pH
- decreased CO2 = increased pH
5
Q
bicarbonate levels
A
- normal = 22-26
- increased HCO3 = increased pH
- decreased HCO3 = decreased pH
6
Q
compensation
A
- respiratory is quick and short term
- renal is slower but more effective
- fully = pH normal ABGs abnormal
- partial = pH and ABGs abnormal
7
Q
respiratory acidosis values
A
- decreased pH
- increased CO2
- increased HCO3
8
Q
respiratory alkalosis values
A
- increased pH
- decreased CO2
- decreased HCO3
9
Q
metabolic acidosis
A
- decreased pH
- decreased CO2
- decreased HCO3
10
Q
metabolic alkalosis
A
- increased pH
- increased CO2
- increased HCO3
