Acid Base/fluid Flashcards
Carbonic acid
Aerobic metabolism CO2 + carbonic anhydrase
Lactic acid
Anaerobic metabolism
Sulfuric acid
Sulphur containing amino acids (methionine, cysteine, noneocystine, tourine)
Phosphoric acid
Phospho proteins, ribonucleic acids
Ketone bodies
Acetoacetic acid, beta hydroxybutyric acid
Synthesized form of acetylcoa by product of mitochondrial beta oxidation of fatty acids
Intravascular fluid
ECF, 8 % of total body water, blood plasma
BP and vascular resistance
Interstitial fluid
ECF, 25% of total body water , fluid between cells, lymph, GI, spinal, eye, synovial fluids, between plasma and interstitial 4 starting forces
Intercellular fluid
ICF, 67% of total body water, inside cell, water moves freely across plasma membrane through aquaporins, ions through channel or transporter
Respiratory acidosis
Decreased pH, increased CO2, decreased bicarbonate
S/s-HA, restlessness, muscle twitching, sz, lethargy, change in mental status
Cause by hypercapnia due to COPD, decreased respirations due to OD, Brain injury, paralysis trauma
Respiratory alkalosis
Increased pH, decreased CO2, increased bicarbonate
Due to hypocapnia, high altitudes, increased vent rate, fever, anemia, salicylate OD, anxiety
S/s-dizzy, confusion, sz, tachypnea, confusion
ROME
Respiratory opposite
Metabolic equal
Blood ph
7.35-7.45
Acidic-alkaline
3 mechanisms to maintain acid base balance
1 physiologic (chemical) buffer system in plasma first line
2 respiratory acid base control is quick to response in seconds to minutes
3 renal acid base control responds slow hours to days
ABG
PH 7.35-7.45
CO2 35-45
O2 80-100
HCO3 21-28
CO2 highly acidic, lungs
Bicarbonate HCO3 highly alkaline, kidneys
CO2 + H20< -> H2CO3<->H and HCO3
Metabolic acidosis with high anion gap
Serum K plus Na - serum Cl + HCO3
Normal is 6-12 gap
Greater than 12 is acidosis
Caused by MUDPILES
Methanol, uremia, DKA, paraldehyde/phenformin/propofol toxicity, Iron, lactic acidosis, ethylene glycol, salicylates
Less than 12 non ion gap could be due to renal loss, GI loss, volume overload, high sodium, renal function issues
