Lecture 3: Fluid Management

Question 1

Steps in Acid Base interpretation

Answer 1

is it life threatening?
acidemic or alkalemic?
acute respiratory?
chronic respiratory vs acute metabolic?
if acute metabolic, resp compensation?
anion gap present?
is clinical presentation consistent with interpretation?

Question 2

Anion gap equation

Answer 2

Na - (Cl + HCO3)
3-11 normal
>12 resp acidosis

Question 3

Respiratory acidosis

Answer 3

PaCO2 > 45 pH < 7.35
compensated with renal retention of HCO3
decreased contractility, SVR
increased PVR
treatment: mech vent, HCO3, improve pulm function

Question 4

Respiratory alkalosis

Answer 4

PaCO2 < 35 pH > 7.45

results in hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, dysrhythmias, bronchoconstriction, cerebrovascular constriction, hypotension

Question 5

Metabolic acidosis

Answer 5

HCO3 < 21 pH < 7.35
decreased contractility, SVR
increased PVR
treatment: IV fluid, HCO3

Question 6

Metabolic alkalosis

Answer 6

HCO3 > 27 pH > 7.45

treatment IV fluid, KCl

Question 7

Base Excess

Answer 7

deviation of HCO3
0 normal
-2 - < 0 metabolic acidosis (base deficit)
> 0 - +2 metabolic alkalosis (base excess)
