 mild = 61 - 80
 moderate = 41 - 60
 severe = 40 or less

93
Q

pO2 = 81 - 100 mmHg (adequate oxygenation)

A

 p02 Hypoxemia:
 mild = 61 - 80
 moderate = 41 - 60
 severe = 40 or less

94
Q

pH is based on HCO3 and H2CO3
 H2CO3 = _____

A

HENDERSON-HASSELBACH EQUATION
pCO2 x 0.03 (solubility coefficient;
other references: 0.029)

95
Q

HENDERSON-HASSELBACH EQUATION
formula to be used

A

pH = 6.1 + log HCO3 /
pCO2 x 0.03

96
Q

HENDERSON-HASSELBACH EQUATION Alternative Formula: if incase the given is only tCO2 and pCO2

A

pH = 6.1 + log tCO2 − (pCO2 x 0.03)
pCO2 x 0.03

97
Q

Representative conjugate base
Maintains pH at normal level
Measured directly
___: renal regulatory mechanism

A

Bicarbonate (HCO3-)
kidney

98
Q

Weak acid
Not directly measured; it is measured thru the breakdown products specifically pCO2 (representative of H2CO3)
tCO2 = HCO3- + H2CO3
___: respiratory regulatory
mechanism

A

Carbonic acid (H2CO3)
Lungs

99
Q

body’s mechanism which allows it to revert back the pH level into normal
range
One buffer system adjusts for the other buffer system which has primary disturbance

A

Degree of Compensation

100
Q

Primary Disturbance

A

HCO3 (22-29mmol/L)
Metabolic acidosis <22 mmol/L
Metabolic alkalosis >29 mmol/L
pCO2 represent H2CO3 (35-45mmHg)
Respiratory alkalosis <35 mmHg
Respiratory acidosis >45 mmHg

101
Q

Degree of Compensation

A

pH pCO2 H2CO3
Non-compensatory A A or N A or N
Partial compensatory A A A
Complete compensatory N A A

102
Q

No compensation
Either pCO2/ H2CO3 is normal; pH is
abnormal
 Ex: _______ - pCO2 is
abnormal, while H2CO3 did not adjust and is normal. Since this is acidosis, pH in effect will be acidic or in abnormal range.

A

Non-compensatory
Respiratory acidosis

103
Q

With compensation but insufficient to
compensate pH → abnormal
pCO2 and H2CO3 are abnormal; pH is
abnormal

A

Partial compensatory

104
Q

 With sufficient compensation; thus
normalizing pH

A

Complete compensatory

105
Q

 Evaluate according to the given result based on normal range
 ↓ pO2 (<85 mmHg) = ____ – using blood sample; or ___ if O2 source is from oxymeters

A

Degree of Oxygenation (pO2= 85-105 mmHg)
hypoxemia
hypoxia

Mild >61; <85
Moderate >41; <60
Severe <40

106
