Q

mechanisms for compensation of resiratory Acidosis/ alkalosis

A

acidosis: (pCO2 is increased) increase the bicarb by the kidneys excreting more acid and less bicarb
alkalosis: (pCO2 decreased) decrease the bicarb: excreting less acid and more bicarb

Q

mechanisms for compensation of metabolic

A

acidosis: ( decreased bicarb) decrease the PCO2 by hyperventilation
alkalosis: ( increased bicarb) increase the PCO2 by hypOventilation

16
Q

disease associated with Respiratory acidosis

A
  • sedative overdose

- pulmonary embolism

17
Q

Diseases associated with Respiratory alkalosis

A
  • CNS pain
  • anxiety and panic disorder
  • hypoxemia
18
Q

Disease associated with metabolic acidosis

A
  • lactic acidosis
  • ketoacidosis
    • diarrea or intestinal losses
19
Q

diseases associated with metabolic alkalosis

A
  • Vomiting/nasogastric suction
  • massive diuresis
  • hypokalemia
20
Q

right shift of hemoglobin affinity

A

increased: temp, pCO2, 2-3 DPG
decreased PH
- decreased affinity

21
Q

left shift hemoglobin affinity

A

increased: pH
decrease temp, PCO2, 2-3 dpg
- increased affinity

22
Q

hypoxia

A

decreased oxygen

- involves SO2 and PO2

23
Q

parameters measured in CO OX

A

optical absorbance of sample that measures hemoglobin and it derivatives

24
Q

What does a CO OX measure

A
  • total hemoglobin
  • Oxyhemoglobin
  • deoxyhemoglobin
  • methemoglobin
  • carboxyhemoglobin
25
Q

abnormal results

A
  • methemoglobin - cytochrome b5 deficiency

- carbonmonoxide posioning

26
Q

Clinical used for an uring osmolgap

A

increased output: primary polydipsia-> compulsion to drink water
diabetes insipidis and mellitus
decreased output: dehydration, acute tubular injury

27
Q

Clinical used for a serum osmol gap

A
  • screening toxins: alcohols and glycols
  • monitoring osmolitacally active agents: mannitol
  • evaluating hypanatremia: exclusion of pseudo hypanatremia amd pressure of other osmostic agens
28
Q

Calcuating serum osmolity

A

2 X NA + (glu/18)+(BUN/2.8)

normal between 280 and 300

29
Q

osmol gap

A

the difference between the measured and calculated ions

  • -uremia
    • diabetes
    • parahylde
    • isopropanol
    • lactate
    • ethanol
    • salicylates
