Q

Causes of Hypoxia

A
  • hypoventilation
  • V/Q mismatch as seen in pulmonary embolus

Q

Metabolica acidosis

A
  • decrease in extracellular pH caused by a decrease in HCO3
  • loss of HCO from GI tract, renal
  • increase H+ load–DKA or lactic acidosis
  • Decrease H+ excretion by kidney–uremic acidosis or RTA
