primary imbalance
acid base imbalance
caused by one source
either resp or met
mixed imbalance
acid base imbalance
caused by both met and rest
Compensation-
how the body attempts to return homeostasis. It wants to balance the pH.
Primary imbalance
source of the problem
it is what is causing the imbalance
compensation how fast
respiration
renal
resp can happen quickly
renal takes longer
compensated
ph where
PaCO2 / HCO3 where
If pH is NORMAL,
PaCO2 and HCO3 are both ABNORMAL
Partially Compensated
ph where
PaCO2/ HCO3 where
If pH is ABNORMAL,
PaCO2 and HCO3 are both ABNORMAL

3if both
4look at/is pt
Is the pH normal, acidotic or alkalotic?
Is the pCO2 or HCO3 abnormal?
If they are both abnormal, which one deviates the most from the norm and is causing the change in pH?
Look at the Po2, is the pt hypoxic?
RO
when ph is up
when ph is down
ROME
Respiratory Opposite
When pH is up, PaCO2 is down = Alkalosis
When pH is down, PaCO2 is up = Acidosis
ME
when ph is up
when ph is down
ROME
Metabolic Equal
When pH is up, HCO3 is up = Alkalosis
When pH is down, HCO3 is down = Acidosis
acids to what to hydrogen
bases do what to hydrogen
Acids- release hydrogen in solution
Base- accepts hydrogen in solution
low ph=what=how much hydrogen //levels
high ph=what=how much hydrogen //levels
Low pH = acidic-more hydrogen-<7.35
High pH = alkaline-less hydrogen >7.45
Volital acids
how eliminated
can be elimated as a gas
such as carbonic acid from lungs
Non volital acids
how excreted
must be excreted as body fluids like lactic acid
excess acid
k
c d
buildup
h
ketones-dka,starvation
cell death- trauma,
lactic buildup
hypoxia
excess base(alkolotic)
a
loss
-antacids
loss of gi fluids-vomit, di suction
Body has 3 different systems to maintain normal pH
Buffer system-in the fluids
Respiratory system
Renal system
buffer system
what does it do
prevent major changes in pH by either removing or adding H ions-
When acidic buffer system
- binds with hydrogen to minimize ph change
When alkalotic- buffer system
releases hydrogen ions and restores ph
repository system does what
how fast
Regulates levels of carbonic acid (CO2-
works quickly
respiratory system in metabloic acidosis
rr and depth of lung increases to relase co2
respiratory system in metabolic alkalosis
alkalosis- rr and depth of respiration decreases and retains co2
renal system
how fast
term
Kidneys respond more slowly to pH changes
Long term regulation of acid base balance
renal system in respitory acidosis
kindeys excrete hyodren and retain bicaronate
renal system in repository alkalosis
kidneys retain hydrogen and excrete bicarbonate
where are abg drawn
radial artery

what does abg measure
ph
pco2
bicarb
PaCO2-
relfects what
regulated by what
normal values
reflects respiratory component of acid base regulation
Regulated by lungs
Normal values 45-35
PaO2
normal
under that =
evaluates/not
what’s
Normal PaO2 80-100
<80= hypoxemia
Evaluates respiratory function-not acid base balance
what’s available to cells
Serum bicarbonate- abg
reflects
what component
normal level
reflects renal regulation of acid base
Metabolic component of ABGs
Normal bicarb level: 22-26
