Q

Magnesium

A

1.5-2.5 mEq/L (reflexes); acts as a DEPRESSANT; Hypomagnesemia = tremors, seizures, tetany,…

16
Q

Pa02 (partial pressure of oxygen)

A

80-100 mmHg

17
Q

Bicarbonate (HCO3)

A

Normal: 24- 30

  • The test represents bicarbonate (the base form of the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system)
  • Decreased: acidosis
  • Increased: alkalosis
18
Q

PaCO2

A

PaCO2 35-45 mm Hg

19
Q

pH

A

pH 7.35 - 7.45
Not a gas, but a measurement of acidity or alkalinity, based on the hydrogen (H+) ions present. The pH of a solution is equal to the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration in that solution: pH = - log [H+]

20
Q

PaO2

A

PaO2 80 to 100 mm Hg.
The partial pressure of oxygen that is dissolved in arterial blood.
New Born – Acceptable range 40-70 mm Hg. Elderly: Subtract 1 mm Hg from the minimal 80 mm Hg level for every year over 60 years of age: 80 - (age- 60) (Note: up to age

21
Q

HCO3

A

HCO3 22 to 26 mEq/liter

The calculated value of the amount of bicarbonate in the bloodstream. Not a blood gas but the anion of carbonic acid.
