Q

so if a patient pH < 7.35 , HCO3 > 28 , and PaCO2 is > 45 what is the correct acid/base interpretation

normal values:
pH 7.35-7.45
HCO3= 22-26
PaCO2= 35-45

A

well pH is acidosis bc less then 7.35 and if can only be acidic if PaCO2 is high or HCO3 is low

so respiratory acidosis with partial compensation from bicarb

Q

if a patient presents with pH > 7.45 , HCO3 < 24 , and PaCO2 < 35 what acid/base interpretation is this

normal values
pH= 7.35 -7.45
HCO3= 22-26
PaCO2= 35-45

A

pH is high so it is alkalosis / basic , HCO3 is normal and PaCO2 is low

so respiratory alkalosis with no compensation

Q

if someone has excessive excretion of acids due to renal disease , loss of hydrochloric acid from prolonged vomiting and decreases plasma potassium levels which can lead to arrthymias what acid/base interpretation could they have

Q

if a patient presents with pH > 7.45 , HCO3 > 28 and PaCO2 > 45 what acid/base interpretation is this

normal values
pH= 7.35-7.45
HCO3= 22-26
PaCO2= 35-45

A

pH is high so alkalosis , HCO3 is high so could be causing the alkalosis bc HCO3 is a base and PaCO2 is high so it could be compensating

so metabolic alkalosis with partial compensation

Q

if a patient presents with pH < 7.35 , HCO3 < 22 and PaCO2 < 35 then what acid/base interpretation is it

norms
ph= 7.35 - 7.45
HCO3= 22-26
PaCO2= 35-45

A

pH is low so acidosis, bi carb is low and PaCO2 is low …. since bi car is low it is make it acid bc there is less base , is the PaCO2 was high then it would be respiratory

metabolic acidosis

A

panacinar
