LAST CHANCE! Flashcards
normal base deficit/excess
-2 to 2
normal PaO2
80-100
what does pH represent?
pH is an inverse log of hydrogen ions
-% of hydrogen ions
what does CO2 indicate
acid
Co2 over 45
acidotic
apnea
hypotentilaton
Co2 under 35
hyperventilation
replacement formula for bicarbonate
0.1 x (-BE) x weight in kg = needd bicarb
base deficit pver-4
need blood transfusions
what happens in left shift?
LOW
HIGH affinity
relationship between O2 dissociation shifts and affinity for oxygen
opposite
left = low data= high affinity
right = high data = low affinity
relationships in O2 dissociation curve
left = high affinity, LOW values
H, temp, 2,3-DPG, PCO2
O2 shift if lot of CO2 is retained
CO2 is an acid so it makes the ABG more acidotic and moves left
O2 shift if lots of bicarbonate
bicarbonate is a base so more alkalotic and moves right
how to tell if it is compensated
the compensation mechanism is opposite of hte primary problem
r. acidosis is compensated by bicarb
partial compensation
pH outside of normal, values
both reps and metabolic are outside of normal values
fully compensated
pH normal|
both bicarb and cow are not normal
is it respiratory of acidotic?
if co2 folows pH = respiratory
if bicarbonate follows pH = metabolic
acid-base balance if Diamox
m. alkalosis
acid-base balance if steroids
m. alkalosis
criteria for lactic acidossi
lactate over 4
acid-base in seizures
m. acidosis
acid-base in rhabdomyolysism
acidosis
acid-base if breathing too fast
r. alkalosis.
intervedntion if on m. vent and breathing too fast
r. alkalosis
1. Vt
2. F
acid-base if hypermetabolic state
r. alkalosis
acid-base if pregnant
r. alkalosis
acid-base if high altitude
r. alkalosis
acid-base if pain
r. alkalosis
acid-base if anxiety attack
r. alkalosis
what happens in ASA poisniong
it is a respiratory center stimulant
can’t remove CO2
breathing slowly/hyperventilation is r. acksosis
acid-base in CNS depression
r. acisosis
acid-base irf lung or chest injury
r. acidosis
intervente r. acidosis
breathing too slow. so buildup CO2. so increase RR
acid-base in asthma
r. acidosis
acid-base in COPD
r. acidosis

relationship between pH and K
as pH falls, K shifts outside the cell to make the K look false high
- when shifting imbalance by raising pH, K shifts intracellulary leaving life-threatening low K
shifts involving K
