Q

Give the pH, PCO2, HCO3 & compensatory response for respiratory alkalosis

A

pH: up
PCO2: down (most imp)
HCO: low
Compensatory: decreased renal HCO3 reabsorb

17
Q

Differentiate acidosis/alkalosis by checking arterial pH & if compensation has occurred

A

pH < 7.4 => PCO2 > 40mmHg => respiratory acidosis
pH < 7.4 => PCO2 < 40mmHg => metabolic acidosis w/ hypervent

pH >7.4 => PCO2 > 40mmHg => metabolic alkalosis w/ hypovent
pH > 7.4 => PCO < 40mmHg => respiratory alkalosis

18
Q

What are causes of respiratory acidosis?

A
hypoventiliation due to =>
airway obstruction
acute lung dz
chronic lung dz
opioids, sedatives
weakening of respiratory muscles
19
Q

What are causes of respiratory alkalosis?

A
hyperventilation due to => 
hysteria
hypoxemia (high altitude)
Salicylates (early)
Tumor
Pulmonary embolism
20
Q

What are causes of metabolic alkalosis w/ compensation of hypoventilation?

A

Loop diuretics
Vomiting
Antacid use
Hyperaldosteronism

21
Q

How do you calculate anion gap? what is normal range?

A

anion gap = Na+ - (Cl- + HCO3-) => 8-12 mEq/L

22
Q

What are causes of metabolic acidosis w/ increased anion gap?

A
MUDPILES:
Methanol (formic acid)
Uremia
DKA
Propylene glycol
Iron tablets or INH
Lactic acidosis
Ethylene glycol (oxalic acid)
Salicylates (late)
23
Q

What are causes of normal anion gap metabolic acidosis?

A
HARD-ASS:
Hyperalimentation
Addison dz
Renal tubular acidosis
Diarrhea
Acetazolamide
Spironolactone
Saline infusion
