degree of excess or deficit of base in the blood
O2 Sat

40
Q

What is an alternative to ABG

A

venous blood gas (VBG) - can assess oxygenation
provides venous pH and HCO3 concentrations
End-tidal CO2/Capnography - requires tight fitting mask or intubation

41
Q

what does protein breakdown yield

A

acids

42
Q

what is the normal pH of the blood

A

7.35 - 7.45

43
Q

what does pH =

A

-log (H+)
HCO3- (mEq/L) / pCO2 (mmHg)

44
Q

where is bicarbonate made

A

in the kidney to buffer acids -> more alkalotic

45
Q

46
Q

why is pH important

A

metabolic functioning
protein structure
enzymatic functioning
cell wall integrity
…so many things

47
Q

how does acidosis affect metabolism

A

hyperkalemia

48
Q

how does alkalosis affect metabolism

A

decreased push of protons into the cell
this means that the calcium, mag, K are not getting pushed out of the cells so they can drop in ECF

how does acidosis affect the respiratory system

A

tachypnea
can drop CO2 to about 10 at lowest point
Right shift

50
Q

how does alkalosis affect the respiratory system

A

left shift

51
Q

how does acidosis affect cardiovascular system

A

decreased cardiac output
vasodilation
increase ectopic rhythms from unstable cellular function
hyperkalemia

how does alkalosis affect cardiovascular system

A

leads to excitability
ventricular tachyarrhythmias
SVT
hypokalemia

reserve volume (inspiratory, expiratory)
residual volume

67
Q

what are the different lung capacity types

A

inspiratory, expiratory, functional residual, vital capacity, total lung capacity

68
Q

what is the tidal volume

A

the amount of air that can be inhaled or exhaled in one respiratory cycle (normal breath)
will include volume to fill physiologic dead space
normal = 300-500mL

69
Q

what is the minute ventilation

A

tidal volume (TV) x Respiratory Rate (RR)

70
Q

what is inspiratory reserve volume

A

amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled after tidal volume (amount in a ‘deep breath’)
normal = 1900-3300 mL

71
Q

what is expiratory reserve volume

A

amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled beyond tidal volume (amount in ‘full exhale’)
normal = 700-1200mL

72
Q

what is residual volume

A

amount of air that remains in the lungs after full exhale
normal about 1200mL

73
Q

what is inspiratory capacity

A

total inspiratory volume
inspiratory reserve + TV

74
Q

what is total lung capacity

A

total volume of air the lungs can accommodate with maximal inspiration
Calculated (IRV + TV + ERV + RV)
normal about 4-6L

75
Q

what is vital capacity

A

total volume exhaled after full inhalation 4800mL

TV is only about 10% of vital capacity (VC)

76
Q

what is functional residual capacity (FRC)

air in the lung after a typical exhalation (non-forced)

77
