Final Review Flashcards
not reabsorbing enough HCO3
- respiratory compensates by blowing off excess CO2
metabolic acidosis
pH > 7.45, HCO3 > 26
metabolic alkalosis
- headache
- hyperkalemia
- muscle twitching
- vasodilation
- low BP
- N/V/diarrhea
- LOC changes/confused/drowsy
- Kussmaul respirations
- compensation
metabolic acidosis
caused by severe diarrhea, renal failure/issues, shock, and diabetic ketoacidosis
metabolic acidosis
reabsorbing excess HCO3
- respiratory compensates by retaining CO2
metabolic alkalosis
pH < 7.35, HCO3 < 22
metabolic acidosis
caused by excessive HCO3, loop diuretics, severe vomiting, and excessive GI suctioning
metabolic alkalosis
- rapid, shallow respirations
- tachycardic w/ possible dysrhythmias
- N/V/diarrhea
- hypokalemia
- tingling in extremities
- muscle cramping
- decreased LOC/confusion
