A

pH

39
Q

PCO2 is the measurement of partial pressure exerted by CO2 in the blood and is

A

inversely related to pH

40
Q

PO2 is the partial pressure exerted by the O2 content in the blood influenced by the

A

altitude and temp

41
Q

pH is measured in ___ ways

A

2

42
Q

Related to the PCO2 by the

A

Henderson Hasslebach equation

43
Q

Whole blood, blood obtained anaerobically diffused through a polarographic electrode called

A

Clark electrode

44
Q

As temperature increases

A

CO2 increases and inversely pH decreases

45
Q

What is the body’s response to an increased CO2 level?

A

To take take deeper and more breath (compensated), when this happens PO2 increases as well

46
Q

Where can abgs be performed from

A
  • usually radial or brachial artery
  • femoral
  • dorsalis pedis
  • posterior tibial
47
Q

Mixed venous sample come from the

A

Swan Ganz (pulmonary artery catheter)

48
Q

Venous samples form peripheral veins are not

A

useful for assessing oxygenation

49
Q

What happens when air is mixed in the sample?

A

it causes CO2 to go down, therefore pH goes up, PO2 reads high

50
Q

PCO2 correlates w/

A

ventilation

51
Q

Hypoventilation =

A

CO2 increases

52
Q

Hyperventilation =

A

CO2 decreases

53
Q

If dead space is increased the body’s natural response is to

A

increase ventilation to compensate

54
Q

Hypercapnia is defined as

A

excessive carbon dioxide in the bloodstream, typically caused by inadequate respiration

55
Q

Alveolar air equation

A

PAO2=(PB-H2O) x FiO2- (PaCO2 x 1.25)

56
Q

What can oxygen be estimated with?

A

SpO2; pulse ox

57
Q

Demand valves are also called

A

Demand flow regulators

58
Q

Demand valves require

A

pressure to trigger gas flow and responds to pt effort

59
Q

O2 analyzer polarographic is also called

A

Clark electrode
