Lecture 1 Acid Base

Question 1

Acidosis

Answer 1

Pt does DOWN (K goes up)

REMEMBER ACIDOSIS IS LOWER PH NUMBER

hypo reflexive, lethargy, brady, respiratory arrest

Question 2

Alkalosis

Answer 2

Pt goes up (K goes down)

REMEMBER ALKALOSIS IS HIGHER PH NUMBER

hyper reflexive, lethargy, tachy, seziures

Question 3

Kussmaul respirations with WHAT ACID BASE?

Answer 3

MAC Kussmals

Metabolic acidosis

Question 4

borborygmi

Answer 4

increased bowel sounds

Question 5

Acid base causes

Answer 5

LUNG SCENARIO = respiratory
over ventilating - alkalosis
under ventilating - acidosis

NO LUNG? = metabolic
PROLONGED GASTRIC VOMITING/SUCTIONING (losing acid) is metabolic alkalosis
everything else is metabolic acidosis

Question 6

high pressure alarm

Answer 6

obstruction
- kinks
- water condensation
- mucous secretions

Question 9

Answer 9

disconnections
