ABG pH 7.29/PaCO2 57/PaO2 85/HCO3- 25
What is respiratory acidosis with normal oxygenation?
In pressure controlled ventilation, these two primary ventilator settings are most commonly (but not always!) increased to correct this type of blood gas. ABG pH 7.23/PaCO2 56/PaO2 84/HCO3- 24
What is respiratory rate and peak inspiratory pressure.
This is the body's long-term compensation for an elevated PaCO2.
What is to increase HCO3-?
ABG pH 7.19/PCO2 86/PaO2 44/HCO3-26
What is moderate hypoxemia?
ABG pH 7.19/ PCO2 71/HCO3- 26
What is uncompensated?
ABG pH 7.46/PaCO2 33/PaO2 41/HCO3- 25
What is respiratory alkalosis with moderate hypoxemia?
This ventilator setting is most often increased first for blood gases with the following values: pH 7.44/PaCO2 36/PaO2 75/HCO3- 23 on 30% FiO2
What is FiO2?
This is the body's long-term compensation for a pH of 7.50 and PaCO2 of 25.
What is to decrease HCO3-?
ABG pH 7.33/PCO2 49/PaO2 71/HCO3- 22
What is mild hypoxemia?
ABG pH 7.45/PaCO2 34/PaO2 59/HCO3- 21
What is fully compensated?
ABG pH 7.37/PaCO2 48/PaO2 67/HCO3-27
What is fully compensated respiratory acidosis with mild hypoxemia?
This setting should most likely be decreased for a patient on BiPAP with the following settings, vital signs, and ABG:
BiPAP S/T, rate of 4/IPAP 16/EPAP 6/IT 1/FiO2 21%
Vitals: HR 91, RR 18, SpO2 95%
ABG pH 7.49/PaCO2 30/PaO2 83/HCO3- 24
What is IPAP?
This is the body's response to an HCO3- of 15.
What is to decrease PaCO2 (hyperventilate)?
ABG pH 7.41/PCO2 33/PaO2 141/HCO3- 26
Hyperoxemia?
ABG pH 7.29/PaCO2 58/PaO2 81/HCO3- 27
What is partially compensated?
ABG pH 7.16/PaCO2 33/PaO2 95/HCO3- 15
What is partially compensated metabolic acidosis with normal oxygenation?
This BiPAP setting should most likely be decreased for a 10 year old patient with the following BiPAP settings, vitals, and ABG:
BiPAP S/T Rate of 4/IPAP 12/EPAP 6/FiO2 60%
Vitals: HR 99, RR 20, SpO2 98%
ABG pH 7.34/PaCO2 47/PaO2 133/HCO3-26
What is FiO2?
This is the body's response to an HCO3- of 28.
What is to increase PaCO2 (hypoventilate)?
ABG pH 7.34/PCO2 50/PaO2 40/HCO3- 26.
What is moderate hypoxemia?
ABG pH 7.15/PaCO2 71/PaO2 55/HCO3- 19
What is combined acidosis?
ABG pH 7.23/PaCO2 53/PaO2 68/HCO3- 20
What is combined (respiratory and metabolic) acidosis with mild hypoxemia?
For a patient on HFOV, this type of frequency change should result in a decreased PaCO2.
What is a decrease?
This is the body's typical response to hypoxemia
What is increased respiratory drive (and subsequent hyperventilation)?
