Perf Tech 3 Test 7 Flashcards
pH formula
pH= -log [H+]
- [H+] must be in Eq/L (not mEq/L)
- normal= 3-5 nEq/L
- extreme range= 10-160 nEq/L
Body Fluids pH
arterial= 7.4 venous= 7.35 interstitial= 7.35 -intracellular= 6-7.4 (metabolic waste in cells) -urine= 4.5-8 (change in H in urine) -Gastiric HCl= .8
Systems that Regulate [H+]
1) chemical acid-base buffers= don’t eliminate, just keep tied up= immediate
2) Respiratory Center= regulates CO2 removal= minutes
3) Kidneys= eliminates excess acid or base = hours/days
Buffer
substance that reversibly binds to H+
1) Bicarb buffer system- extracellular
2) phosphate buffer system- extra and intracellular and tubular fluid
3) proteins as buffers- intracellular
- if one changes, they all change cuz equilibrium
Bicarbonate Buffer System
extracellular
2 components= weak acid H2CO3 and bicarb salt NaHCO3
carbonic anhydrase= in RBC, alveoli, epithelial cells of renal tubules
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
pH= pK + log (base/acid) pH= pK + log (HCO3/ pCO2x.0301
pK= pH where concentration of acid=base
pK for bicarb @ 37 degrees= 6.1
-as temp increase= dissociate= pH, pKa decrease
Phosphate Buffer System
mostly in tubular fluid and intracellular (little in extra)
-hydrogen phosphate accepts H
-dihydrogen phosphate releases H
pK for phosphate buffer at 37 degrees= 6.8
Protein as Buffer
60-70% of chemical buffering within the cell (especially with RBC and amino acids)
–intracellular
Respiratory Center
increase metabolic= increase CO2= increase H= increase alveolar ventilation= blow off CO2= ECF PCO2 decrease
-Negative feedback loop- chemoreceptors sense [H]= increase respiration in medulla oblongata= diaphragm contract more frequently
Kidneys
=excrete acids and base by 3 ways
1) secrete H
2) reabsorption of filtered HCO3
3) produce new HCO3
amount of H and HCO3 entering tubules are equal= they combine to make CO2 and H20
HCO3 reabsorption
4320 mEq/day filterted and 1 mEq/day excreted
85%- proximal reabsorbed
10%- thick asc reabsorbed
5%- distal reabsorbed
-CO2 + water turns into bicarb and H inside the cell
=Na/HCO3 cotransporter into interstitial
=Na/H counter-transports H into tubular lumen
(in distal intercalated cells= HCO3/Cl counter transports HCO3 into interstitial and H is ATPed out tint tubular lumen)
H Secretion
by Na/H counter transporter
- excess H secreted by phosphate and ammonia buffer in urine
- Tubules secrete more H when they sense more PCO2 (respiratory) or H (respiratory or metabolic acidosis) in ECF
Things that increase H secretion and HCO3 reab
increase PO2, increase H or decrease in HCO3, low ECF
-angiotensin II, aldosterone, and hypokalemia (K goes out, H comes in, which makes H go out= metabolic alkalosis)
Non-Cardiac Applications of CPB
accidental hypothermia, neurosurgery, lung/liver transplant, ILP, chemotherapy, chest trauma
-support= circulation, ventilation, temperature, surgical, drug delivery
Accidental Hypothermia
- mild 32-35= shiver, increase BP/HR, diuresis (cuz of vasoconstriction)= Passive rewarming, external
- moderate 30-32= decrease shiver/BP/HR, stiff, supra ventricular arrhythmia= active core rewarm, external, CPB if unstable
- severe <30= cardiac arrhythmia, no rhythm, high viscosity/sludge= CPB (with no CPG, rewarm 4 degrees per hour, need increase volume, can defibrillator at 32 degrees, metabolic acidosis, high K/urine/permeability
