what is the pH scale
power (logarithmic) scale that shows the inverse relationship of hydrogen ions-low pH/acid =pH lots of H
buildup of CO2
acid
what does high CO2 indicate
acid builduplow pHapnea/hypoventilation
what is Co2 regulation a function of
CO2 regulation is a function of minute folume| minute volume = tidal volume (Vt) x RR (F)
Vt on ventilator settings
tidal volume

alkalosis| high pH
CO2 if alkalosis
under 35
Vt x R
minute ventilatiob = Vt x F| tidal volume x RR
how does pH and bicarbonate move
opposite directions22 is acidotic26 is alkalosis
pH if too much bicarb
bicarb is alkalotic| over 26 bicarbonate
pH if too little bicarbonate
under 22| acidosis
under 22 bicarb
too little bicarbonatebicarb and pH move in teh same directionalkalosis
what is base excess/deficit
the amount of excess or deficit amount of base present in blood
base deficit of -4
indicator for blood transufusion
base deficit where you would consider blood transfusion
base deficit of
base deficit where death is likely
over -19
replacement formula for bicarbonate

what 5 things change in left/right shift
LEft = LOWRight = Raise+HtemperaturePCO22,3-DPG
CO2 & pH
Co2 is an acid so it makes ABG more acidotic| left shift
Bicarbonate & pH
bicarb is a base so makes ABG more alkalotic| right shift
CO2 follows pH
respiratory
bicarbotate follows pH
metabolic
how to tell if the ABG is compensated
the compensatory mechanism is teh opposite of the primary problem* respiratory acidosis is compensated by bicarb* metabolic alkalosis is compensated by CO2
compensated respiratory acidosis
compensated by bicarbonate
compensated metabolic alkalosis
compensated by CO2 (acid)
partially compensated
pH outside normal range| both resp & metabolic are outside of normal range
pH/resp/metabolic are all ouside of normal range
partially compensated
pH is normal, resp/metaboliic are ousided normal range
fully compensated
fully compensated

physiology of the pH & K relationship
every 0.1 change in pH, K shifts 0.6 in the opposite directionas pH lowers, K shifts outside the cell giving a falsely elevated K level. when correct imbalance by raising pH, K shifts intracellulary so life threatening low K
