Question 1

The very serious business of recognising respiratory and metabolic acidaemia and alkalosis

Answer 1

And I mean serious.

Question 2

pH - D pCO2 - UHCO3- - -/-pO2 - DD - DownU - Up -/- - No change

Answer 2

• Hypoventilation means raised pCO2 • Hyper capnia -> Low pH • HCO3- unchanged • Respiratory acidaemia

Question 3

pH - D/-pCO2 - UHCO3- - UPO2 - D

Answer 3

• Compensated (partially or fully) respiratory acidaemia • Kidneys have increased HCO3- • Increases buffering of H+ ions caused by increased pCO2

Question 4

pH - UpCO2 - DHCO3- - -/-PO2 - -/U

Answer 4

• Respiratory alkalaemia • Hyperventilation has lower pCO2 • Hypocapnia -> High pH • HCO3- unchanged

Question 5

pH - UpCO2 - DHCO3- - DPO2 - U

Answer 5

• Compensated (partially or fully) respiratory alkalemia • Kidneys have decreased HCO3- • Decreased buffering of H+ ions

Question 6

pH - DpCO2 - -/-HCO3- - DPO2 - -/-Anion Gap - U

Answer 6

• Metabolic acidosis • Decreased HCO3- -> Less buffering of H+ ions Increase in unmeasured anions

Question 7

pH - DpCO2 - DHCO3- - DPO2 - UAnion gap - U

Answer 7

• Compensated (partially or fully) metabolic acidosis • Increased respiratory rate -> Hypocapnia -> Raised pH • Anion gap still increased

Question 8

pH - UpCO2 - -/-HCO3- - UPO2 - -/-

Answer 8

• Metabolic alkalosis

Question 9

pH - UpCO2 - U HCO3- - UPO2 -D

Answer 9

• Compensated metabolic alkalosis • Decreased respiratory rate -> Hypercapnia • Decreased pH Can only partially compensatte
