Hypoventilation

110
Q

What ph and co2 levels do u expect to see in a patient with incomplete compensation for metabolic acidosis?

A

Low ph and low co2

111
Q

What steps should you take to initially treat metabolic acidosis?

A

Adequate ventilation
Isotonic fluids
Sodium bicarb if severe (ph<7.1)

112
Q

How does pyloric stenosis cause acid base imbalance?

A

Vomiting leads to low hydrogen and chloride –> bicarb reabsorption and metabolic alkalosis

113
Q

What acid base inbalance occurs with hypoxia?

A

Hyperventilation leads to low co2 and alkalosis –> kidneys excrete bicarb to compensate

114
Q

What diuretics can cause metabolic acidosis?

A

Acetal planned and spironolactone

115
Q

What is the most common cause of non-gap metabolic acidosis in children ?

A

Diarrhea

116
Q

What are three main causes on acidosis of normal anion gap?

A

Loss of bicarb (diarrhea, kidney dysfunction)
Addition of hydrochloric acid
Renal tubular dysfunction

117
Q

What is the pathophysiology of distal tubular acidosis?

A

Inability of distal tubule to excrete H+ and acidify the urine –> ph >5.5

118
Q

What can mimick RTA type 1?

A

Potassium sparing drugs (spironolactone)

119
Q

What can mimick RTA type 2?

A

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors like acetazolamide

120
Q

What is the pathophysiology of Proximal RTA?

A

Inability of proximal tubule to absorb bicarb which leaves high bicarb in urine

121
Q

Where does reabsorption of bicarb occur?

A

Proximal tubule

122
Q

Between RTA type 1 and 2, which is distal and which is proximal?

A

Type 1 = distal

Type 2 = proximal

123
Q

Where does secretion of hydrogen occur in the kidneys?

A

Collecting duct

124
Q

What causes type 4 RTA?

A

Aldosterone resistance (deficiency) causing hyperkalemia

125
Q

What are the conditions associated with elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis ?

A

MUDPILES = methanol, uremia, dka, paraldehyde, iron/INH, lactic acid, ethanol/ethylene glycol and salicylates

126
Q

What should you consider in an infant who appears healthy at birth but later develops poor feeding, lethargy and seizures?

A

Inborn error of metabolism - organic acidemia

127
Q

What condition causes high ammonia but no metabolic acidosis?

A

Urea cycle defects

128
Q

What occurs With volume on a cellular level when there is hypernatremia?

A

If high sodium, water is dawn out of intracellular compartment into the extra cellular space causing increased volume

160
Q

What happens to potassium during alkalosis?

A

H+ moves extracellular to compensate but then K+ moves into the cell causing low serum K

161
Q

What happens to potassium levels during acidosis?

A

H+ moves into the cell and K+ moves into extra cellular fluid causing high measured K

Q

What type of electrolyte disturbance can lead to cerebral pontine Damage?

A

Hyponatremia

168
Q

Which type of electrolyte disturbance leads to tearing of bridging blood vessels and intracranial hemorrhage?

A
