Chemistry for Perfusion Flashcards
What is normal magnesium level? Where does it occur?
1.5-2.5 mEq/L, in cells and bones, is coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism (need to make ATP)
Anions are what?
Negative ions
Are myocardial cells more dependent on extracellular calcium for contraction than skeletal muscles?
yes, ionized Ca will influence the force of myocardial contraction
Cations are what?
position ions
Do colloids ionize into solutions?
No
During primary active transport how many ATP are used to move sodium out and how many K into a cell
1 ATP, 3 Na, 2K+
Extracellular fluid makes up what percentage of total body weight?
20%
How do kidneys compensate for metabolic alkalosis?
- Decrease H+ excretion
- Increase HCO3- excretion Diomax
- Decreased HCO3- formation
How do kidneys compensate for respiratory acidosis?
Maximize HCO3- retentions, excrete more H+ w diuretics
How do you calculate total blood volume?
Wt (kg) x 70 cc/kg
How do you treat hyperkalemia?
- Hyperventilate to increase acidosis
- NaHCO3 to induce metabolic alkalosis
- CaCl to antagonize high K+ on heart. Increase contractility
- Dialysis
- Insulin if Glucose is high
How do you treat metabolic acidosis?
- increase CO
2. Increase tissue perfusion
How do you treat respiratory alkalosis?
treat hypoxia
How does facilitate diffusion work?
Carrier protein needed to help substance move through membrane
How does kidney compensate for respiratory alkalosis?
decrease reabsorption of HCO3-, increase urine excretion of HCO3-
How does simple diffusion work?
molecules move from high to low gradients
How does the kidney compensate for metabolic acidosis?
- maximize HCO3- retention or give NaHCO3
- Increase HCO3 formation
- excreting H+ via diuretics, dialysis
Hypertonic solutions cause the cells to do what? Name one
Shrink, CPG
Hypomagnesium causes what?
Muscle weakness, neuromascular irritability, development of tachyarrythmias (torsades)
Hypotonic solutions cause the cells to do what? Name one
swell, H20
Intracellular fluid makes up what % of total body weight?
40%
Isotonic solutions does what to cells and name one
no fluid shift to cells, prevents movement of H20 across membrane barriers, crystalloid
Plasma osmolality measures concentrations of what ions?
Na, K, Cl, Urea, flucose
Primary active of Ca ions occurs where and how?
cell membrane pump Ca out of the cell into SR
Primary active transport of H+ occurs where and how?
In the gastric glands and release into stomach. Combines w/ chloride to make HCl. Excess H+ eliminated from blood into urine via renal tubules
Total blood volume is how much of body weight?
7-8%
What % of adult body weight does body fluid compose?
60%
What % of body water is intracellular fluid?
2/3 or 66%
WHat % of ECF does ICF make up?
3/4
What % of ECF is plasma and where is it located?
1/4, circulates as extracellular component of blood
What agent is capable of dissolving other substances?
Solvent
What are causes of metabolic acidosis?
- Diabetes mellitus - keto-acidosis
- Tissue ischemia- lactic acid
- Heavy exercise- lactic acidosis
- Renal failure
- Impaired renal H+ secretion
- GI loss of HCO3- diarrhea
What are causes of metabolic alkalosis?
1 .Hypokalemia
- Increase renal H+ secretion bt excess aldosterone or diuretics
- GI loss of HCl- vomiting, NG suction
- Increased ECF
What are causes of respiratory alkalosis?
- Hyperventilation-stress or pain
2. Hypoxia- pneumonia, p emboli, p edema
