Dialysis if severe CKDz

Arterial pH, PCo2- blood gas analyzer
Plasma BiCarb

106
Q

Since arterial and venous blood gases won’t be equivalent during cardiopulmonary arrest, where/what are the most accurate measurements?

Acidotic is below ? w/ ? PCo2 and BiCarb measurements

A

Arterial pH and PCO2

<7.40
PCO2 <40
BiCarb >24

107
Q

There can be mixed acid-base d/os but there will never be ?

What are the 5 steps of determining acid-base d/os

A

Two primary respiratory d/os

Primary d/o, met/resp
Presence of mixed d/o
Calculate anion gap
Calculate corrected BiCarb concentration
Examine PT
108
Q

What is the Anion Gap formula

What are the two reasons for calculating anion gaps?

A

Gap= Na - (HCO3 + Cl)

ID abnormal gap w/ normal E+
Gap >20 suggest primary metabolic regardless of pH/bicarb, abnormal anion gap is never compensatory response to respiratory d/o

109
Q

A wide anion gap means there are ? located in the ?

What 3 issues form the largest anion gaps?

A

Unaccounted ions in serum

Lactic acidosis
Ketacidosis
Toxins

110
Q

Metabolic acidosis w/ normal anion gap is caused by what 2 issues

How can the cause be distinguished?

A

GI BiCarb loss or RTA

Urine anion gap

111
Q

What is the hallmark of metabolic acidosis

What underlying issues can cause the interpretation of the anion gap to be more difficult

A

Dec BiCarb

Hypalbumin
ABX
Reduction unmeasured anion/
Inc unmeasured cations

112
