Definitions
The concentration of particles in a solution or its pulling power is called this
What is osmolarity?
pH 7.50, PCO2 40 PO2 85, HCO3 30
What is metabolic alkalosis?
Sodium
What is 135-145 meq/L?
Major intracellular cations
What is potassium?
This system reacts within a fraction to changes in pH
What is buffer system?
The loss of water and electrolytes from ECF is called this.
What is hypovolemia?
ph 7.32 PC02 50, O2 saturation 90%
What is respiratory acidosis?
Potassium
What is 3.5 - 5.0 meq/L?
This is deposited in bone and plays a role in parathyroid hormone regulation
What is calcium?
Acids are excreted by this system.
What is the kidneys/renal system?
Fluid leaking into the tissue, skin is cool and pale at site.
What is infiltration?
ph 7.58, PCO2 20, HCO3 24, PO2 55
What is respiratory alkalosis?
Calcium
What is 8.5-10.5mg/dl?
This electrolyte has an inverse relationship with calcium.
What is phosphate?
To determine acidosis or alkalosis, one would check this first.
What is pH?
These hormones regulate fluid balance
What is ADH, Aldosterone and Renin?
pH 7.20, PCO2 40, PO2 55, HCO3 18
What is metabolic acidosis?
Magnesium
What is 1.5-2.5 meq/dl?
Maintains blood volume, fluid balance, and major electrolyte in ECF
What is sodium?
A positive Chvostek's sign indicates this abnormality.
What is hypocalcemia?
This is the best indicator for fluid balance
What is weight?
A patient with COPD is susceptible to developing C02 retention which in turn cause this.
What is respiratory acidosis?
7.35-7.45
What is normal pH?
Sudden weight gain, tachycarcdia, distended jugular vein, edema, and crackles are signs of this.
What is hypervolemia?
This plasma protein assists with controlling the osmotic pressure in the intravascular space
What is albumin?
