Part 2 acid base Flashcards
When body lacks oxygen body will go into metabolism without oxygen thats called anaerobic metabolism
Anaerobic metabolism will generate ___________
lactate
Lactic acidosis is greater than 4 to 5mEq/L
Which pts will develop lactic acidosis? whenever pt has _________
breathing difficulty
_______________ is a perfect example your not able to a get adequate amount of oxygen so you go into anaerobic metabolism so you generate lactate. Lactate is an acidic substance and pt may develop metabolic acidosis
respiratory failure
If pt is in metabolic acidosis and we calculate anion gap and its okay then its normal anion gap metabolic acidosis
Metabolic acidosis primary disorder is your losing what?
bicarbonate
How can you lose bicarbonate? through GI loss like ______ or through renal loss (kidney)
Gain of exogenous sources of chloride (ingesting too much chloride)
diarrhea we lose bicarbonate
How can you get alot of chloride outside of the body? maybe your given too much ___________
normal saline infusion
The body maintains a ratio HCO3/Cl greater than or equal to 0.25
If you have too much saline infusion you may develop metabolic acidosis which is called ________metabolic acidosis (too much chloride )
hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
If pt develops hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis from normal saline infusion what do we give the pt?
lactated ringers which has less sodium chloride. Lactate ringers can help with acidosis…lactate metabolizes to bicarbonate so we are increasing a little bit of bicarbonate
If pt is in metabolic acidosis then you need to calculate anion gap if its high then could be due m.u.d.p.i.l.e.s
If gap is normal so normal anion gap metabolic acidosis which is due to what? pt having _________, losing bicarbonate through kidney, or infusing too _________to the pt
diarrhea
saline
Kidney not only regulate bicarbonate but secretes hydrogen ions
_______(RTA)=impaired ability to excretion of hydrogen ion into urine
Renal tubular acidosis
acidosis could be due to damage of renal tubules
________-Type 1: a defect in H+ secretion in the distal tubule
Distal RTA
________-Type II (Fanconi syndrome)
-Renal bicarbonate wasting
-impaired HCO3 reabsorption in the proximal tubule
Proximal RTA
__________: Impairment in ammonia synthesis in the distal tubule-essential for H+ secretion
Type IV distal
