ACID BASE
If the PH gets higher, is the concentration of hydrogen ions higher or lower?
Lower, Acidosis
In the respiratory center, what needs to increase or decrease for the body to stimulate spontaneous respirations
CO2 levels will be elevated
What needs to occur for a fluid balance shift to occur across ICF and ECF
Difference in Concentration/Difference in charge
When CO2 and H20 mix what element is created?
Carbonic Acid
A CO2 level of 17 would indicate
Respiratory Alkalosis
HCO3 decreases and PH decreases what state are you in?
Metabolic Acidosis
What metabolic state are dialysis patients in. Why
Metabolic acidosis/Body is producing to much acids and not producing HCO3
An acid is an electrolyte that releases
Hydrogen
A CO2 level of 55 would indicate
Respiratory Acidosis
Hypothalamus regulates thirst center through what?
Osmotic pressure in hypothalmus
if the PH gets lower whats that called
What is the compensatory state of someone in Respiratory acidosis & how does it work
Metabolic Alkalosis/Increases bicarb production and increases Hydrogen excretion
A base is an electrolyte that releases
Hydroxide Ions that bind to Hydrogen ions
What are the 2 ways you can go into metabolic acidosis?
Decrease in production of bicarb/Increase in Hydrogen
Where in the kidneys does vasopressin (ADH) work and how does it work
Collecting duct/ tells kidneys to reabsorb Na+ H20
HCO3 increases PH increases what state are you in?
Metabolic Alkalosis
What is the compensatory state of someone in Metabolic acidosis & how is it working
•Respiratory Alkalosis/ Blowing off CO2
Is a anion positive or negatively charged
Negatively
Your PT is hypoventilating, he has COPD what acid base balance state is he in?
Respiratory Acidosis
Is a cation positive or negatively charged?
positively
PH increases CO2 decreases what state are you in?
Respiratory Alkalosis
What is the Compensatory state of someone in Respiratory Alkalosis & how is it working
Metabolic Acidosis. Hydrogen is reabsorbed
If you are dehydrated, does fluid shift from ICF -> ECF, or ECF -> ICF, and why?
ICF -> ECF, water goes to area with higher concentration
is a high PH of 7.7 alkalotic or acidotic
Alkalosis
Write out the Bicarbonate Buffering System Chemical Equation
CO2 + H20 <=> H2CO3 <=> HCO3 + H
