Q

what are the 3 ways the body regulated acid base balance

A
  1. plasma buffer systems (fast)
  2. respiratory system (minutes to hours)
  3. Renal system (hours to days)

Q

plasma buffer systems

A
  • HCO3-/H2CO3
  • protein buffers (hgb)(have negative charges and can bind with positive H)
  • phosphate (PO4-)
  • Cellular ion exchange (potassium with hydrogen exchange)

Q

Renal system regulation

A

-kidneys reabsorb more HCO3- or H+ (back in BS)
OR
-excrete more HCO3- or H+ (out of body)

Q

arterial blood gasses (ABG) normal ranges (pH, pCO2, HCO3)

A

pH: 7.35-7.45
pCO2: 35-45mm/Hg
HCO3-: 22-28 mEq/L

16
Q

which is our ABG respiratory indicator

A

pCO2 (high when lungs are not working)

17
Q

which is our ABG metabolic indicator

A

HCO3-

18
Q

acidosis

A

decreased pH of arterial blood (<7.35)

19
Q

alkalosis

A

increased pH of arterial blood (> 7.45)

20
Q

how does acidosis happen

A

-increase in H+ concentration
OR
-decrease in HCO3-

21
Q

how does alkalosis happen

A

-decrease in H+ concentration
OR
-increase in HCO3-

22
Q

HCO3- is a

A

base

23
Q

if pCO2 is 21 what is happening

A

lungs are blowing off too much CO2 and you are in alkaline

24
Q

if HCO3 is 18 what is happening

A

less base and it is acidosis

25
Q

respiratory acidosis cause

A

anything depressing ventilation or gas exchange

  • depression of the respiratory center (drug OD)
  • resp muscle paralysis
  • lung disorders

RETAINING CO2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

26
Q

metabolic acidosis causes

A

Loss of base or gain of acid:

  1. renal failure (unable to retain HCO3-)
  2. lactic acidosis
  3. DB ketoacidosis
  4. Diarrhea (loss of GI HCO3-)
  5. ingestion of acids
27
Q

respiratory alkalosis causes

A

-hyperventilation (blow off more CO2)

28
Q

metabolic alkalosis causes

A
  • loss of metabolic acids (V)

- excess of HCO3- intake

29
Q

compensated ABG for respiratory acidosis

A

pH: normal (7.35-7.4)(low side)
pCO2: high still
HCO3-: high (this is the compensation)

30
Q

compensation for respiratory acidosis

A

by the kidneys!

Retain more HCO3- or excrete more H+

31
Q

initial ABG for respiratory alkalosis

A

pH: high
pCO2: low
HCO3-: normal

32
Q

compensation for respiratory alkalosis

A
  • by the kidneys
    excrete more HCO3- or retain more H+
    (opposite from respiratory acidosis)
33
Q

compensated ABG for respiratory alkalosis

A

pH: normal (7.40-7.45)(high side)
pCO2: low
HCO3-: low (getting rid)

34
Q

initial metabolic acidosis ABG

A

pH: low
pCO2: normal
HCO3-: low

35
Q

compensated metabolic acidosis ABG

A

pH: normal (
pCO2: low
HCO3-: low

36
Q

compensated metabolic acidosis ABG

A

pH: normal (7.35-7.40) (low side)
pCO2: low
HCO3-: low

37
Q

compensation for metabolic acidosis

A

By the lungs:

-hyperventilate to get rid of (blow off) more CO2

38
Q

initial metabolic alkalosis ABG

A

pH: high
pCO2: normal
HCO3-: high

39
Q

compensation for metabolic alkalosiss

A

pH: normal (7.40-7.45) (high side)
pCO2: high
HCO3-:high
