Metabolic
Is Bicarb alkalotic or acidosis? is hydrogen alkolotic or acidosis?
bicarb- alkalotic
hydrogen- acidosis
is CO2 an acid or base?
acid
what is a value that would represent bicarb being acidic
<16
what is a value that represents bicab being basic
>26
if pH is normal what level compensation is it
fully compensated
what are causes of metabolic acidosis
renal failure, DKA, diarrhea
respitory acidosis causes
drug overdose, intoxicication, pnuemonia, asthma, COPPD, brain trauma
these are decressed R rate or impaired gas exchange
what is a value that represents CO2 being acidic
>45
what is a value that represents basic CO2
<35
body is in metabolic acidosis and pH returns abnormal. Patient is breathing R rate of 9. what level compensation is patient.
Not compensated
what are causes of metabolic alkalosis?
vomiting, NG suction, antacids
respiratory alkalosis causes
fever, aspirin, hyperventilation
What is a value that represents pH being acidic
<7.35
what is value that represents basic pH
>7.45
what is an important nursing intervention after getting ABG
hold pressure on puncture site
A body is in metabolic acidosis, how will the body compensate?
kussmals resirations, increase respiration rate
how will nurse intervene to help pt in rerspiratory alkalosis
help slow breathing, giving sedative medications
more CO2 in body causes body to become ___?
acidic
More bicarb in body causes body to become ____?
basic
Patient is in DKA. What is the result of their ABG and what is the potassium level. what is an example of their compensation.
ABG- metabolic acidosis
Potassium- high potassium
Comensation- kussmals respirations
what is the relationship with potassium and metabolic acidosis and alkalosis
metabolic acidosis- increase potassium
metabolic alkolosis- low potassium
what will the kidneys do for someone in respiratory alkalosis
retain hydrogen and excrete bicarb
pH7.25, PaCO2 55, HCO3 25
respiratory acidosis, uncompensated
pH 7.57, PaCO2 25, HCO3 22
respiratory alkalosis, uncompensated
what medication can cause respiratory alkalosis
aspirin toxicity
