Answer 2

1. HCO3- is greater than 24

2. CO2 is less than 40

Question 3

What qualifies a metabolic acidosis respiratory compensation?

Answer 3

Question 5

What qualifies a respiratory alkalosis renal compensation?

Answer 5

HCO3- less than 24

Question 6

What qualifies a respiratory acidosis renal compensation?

Answer 6

HCO3- greater than 24

Question 7

Equation for metabolic acidosis

Answer 7

PaCO2 = 1.5[HCO3-] + 8 (+/-2)

*anion gap= [Na} - ([Cl] + [HCO3])

Question 8

Equation for metabolic alkalosis

Answer 8

PaCO2 = (.5 to 1.0) x change in HCO3

Question 9

Equation for respiratory acidosis

Answer 9

1. Acute: HCO3 = 24 + ((PaCO2 -40) / 10)

2. Chronic: HCO3 = 24 + 4 ((PaCO2 -40) / 10)

Question 10

Equation for respiratory alkalosis

Answer 10

1. Acute: HCO3 = 24 - 2 ((40 - PaCO2) / 10)

2. Chronic: HCO3 = 24 - 5 ((40 - PaCO2) / 10)
