34
Q

Which parameter could be used to detect excess carbon monoxide in blood?

A

35
Q

Which of the following formulas for O2 content is correct

A

A. O2 Content = %O2 saturation/100 x Hgb g/dL x1.34 mL/g + (0.003 x PO2)

36
Q

what organs regulates the acid base balance in blood (2)

A

kidneys and lungs

37
Q

when the pH of blood is out of the range what do the kidneys do

A

reabsorbe bicarbonate

38
Q

caused by an overabundance of bicarbonate in the blood or a loss of acid from the blood

A

alkalosis

39
Q

occurs when acid builds up or when bicarbonate (a base) is lost.

A

acidosis

40
Q

how do the lungs regulate the blood ph

decrease

48
Q

why does bicarbonate levels decrease during kidney dysfunction

A

Amperometric

57
Q

which kind of blood gas analyzer measures Change in voltage indicates analyte activity (PCO2, pH).

A

Potentiometric:

58
Q

The presence of the dyshemoglobins will cause a calculated % SO2 resut to be falsely (elevated, decreased) and a pulse oximeter % SpO2 value to be falsely (elevated, decreased)

Q

The kidneys compensate for respiratory alkalosis by (excretion, retention) of bicarbonate and (increased, decreased) excretion of NaH2PO4

A

Excretion, decreased

62

A

1:20

63
Q

When arterial blood from a normal patient is exposed to room air

A

In the circulatory system, bicarbonate leaves the red blood cells and enters the plasma through an exchange mechanism with to maintain electroneutrality

A

Chloride

65
Q

Hypoventilation can compensate for

A

Non-respiratory alkalosis
