Topic 6 Flashcards
Changes in the dissociation reaction can affect
pH of solution
Temperature affects
dissociation of molecules in solution
decreased temperature produces
- decrease in energy which produces
- decrease in dissociation which produces
- decrease in concentration of all IONIZED components
- Equilibrium of dissociation moves to the LEFT
At equilibrium, the pH produced is called the
pH of neutrality
At 27C, the pH of neutrality is 7.0
Henry’s law formula
Dissolved = Solubility x Partial Pressure
Solubility
CO2 @ 37 degrees C =
0.06 mls CO2/100 mls bld/mmHg
Solubility
O2 @ 37 degrees C =
0.003 mls O2/100 mls bld/mmHg
How is CO2 moved from tissue to lungs
Dissolved
Bound to hemoglobin
As HCO3-
Haldane Effect
Represents affect of PO2 on ability of CO2 to bind to hemoglobin
Content ≈
Solubility x PP
PP ≈
Content / Solubility
Solubility is inversely proportional to
temperature
Temperature increases, then Solubility
decreases
Temperature decreases, then Solubility
increases
change the pH of blood in a “closed” system via option A=
Change CO2 content and keep temp constant
change the pH of blood in a “closed” system via option B=
Change temp and keep total CO2 content constant
change the pH of blood in a “closed” system via option C=
Change CO2 content and change temp
Option A: Increase total CO2 content by ADDING additional CO2 will cause
pCO2 will increase
pH will decrease
Option A: Decrease total CO2 content by REMOVING CO2 will cause
pCO2 will decrease
pH will increase
Option A: No change in temperature means
No change in solubility
No change in acid-base disassociation equilibriums
Option B: Increase temperature will cause
Drive acid-base disassociation equilibrium to the right
[H+] will increase
pH will decrease
Option B: Decrease temperature will cause
Drive acid-base disassociation equilibrium to the left
[H+] will decrease
pH will increase
Option B: No change in total CO2 content means
pCO2 WILL change due to change in solubility, BUT NO CORRESPONDING change in pH
Option C: Change total CO2 content will cause
pCO2 will change producing an inverse change in pH
Option C: Change temperature will cause
Disassociation equilibrium will change causing a corresponding increase or decrease in [H+]
Option C Result will be a
bigger/smaller change in pH than might be expected
Blood in a closed system (no change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Increases … then Gas solubility
decrease
Blood in a closed system (no change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Increases … then Gas partial pressure
increase
Blood in a closed system (no change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Increases … then gas pressure is _____ than the starting gas pressure
higher
Blood in a closed system (no change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Increases … then Equilibrium of the water dissociation shifts to the
right
Blood in a closed system (no change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Increases … then pH will
decrease
Blood in a closed system (No change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Decreases… then Gas solubility
increases
Blood in a closed system (No change in CO2 content)…

decreases
Blood in a closed system (No change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Decreases… then gas pressure is ____ than the starting gas pressure
lower
Blood in a closed system (No change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Decreases… then Equilibrium of the water dissociation shifts to the
left
Blood in a closed system (No change in CO2 content)…
Temperature Decreases… then pH will
increase
Blood Gas Determination Via Lab=
- Draw sample (Remove all air from sample – Cap tightly – Place in cup of ice)
- Blood from sample injected into analyzer
- Analyzer WARMS sample to 37C
- Analyzer determines the pO2, pCO2, and pH at 37C
Blood gas analyzers heat the blood to 37C before measuring parameters- effects pO2 and pCO2 how
Decreases solubility of gases in sample so PO2 and PCO2 will be artificially high at 37C
Blood gas analyzers heat the blood to 37C before measuring parameters- effects pH how
Pushed HOH equation to right so pH will be artificially low at 37C
Uncorrected gases=
Report gas values determined at 37C
Corrected gases=
Report gas values measured at 37C then corrected back to actual body temperature
Temperature Correction of Blood Gases
-Patient temp is 25 so analyzer will WARM the sample- which means that…
pH will be lower than expected (0.0147 per degree)
CO2 will be higher than expected
O2 will be higher than expected
