diagnostic studies
examines chemical composition of body fluids like glucose and electrolytes
chemistry
CBC contains
H/H, RBCs, WBCs, platelets
Concentration of what ion determines pH?
hydrogen
pH: 7.87, CO2: 55, HCO3: 27
metabolic alkalosis
what ph change happens as a result of gastric suctioning
alkalosis
examines circulating blood cells in a sample (CBC
hematology
Chem 7
Na, K, Cl, CO2, Glucose, BUN, creatinine
the respiratory parameter to the ABG
PaCO2
pH: 7.4, CO2: 35, HCO3: 26
normal
temporary adjustment until the buffer system can be fixed
compensation
examines preparation, storage, and release of blood products for transfusion
blood bank
liver function tests
AST, ALT, bilirubin
low pH, high Co2
respiratory acidosis
pH: 7.82, CO2: 20, HCO3: 13
respiratory alkalosis
normal PaCO2 range is
35-45
examines growths, isolates, and identifies microbes using cultures
microbiology
lipoproteins measure
cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides
high pH, low Co2
respiratory alkalosis
pH: 7.19, CO2: 27, HCO3: 1
metabolic acidosis
Normal HCO3- range
22-26
screens vs diagnostics
screens are asymptomatic, diagnostics are symptomatic
coagulation factors are
PT, INR, PTT, D-dimer
metabolic acidosis
low pH, low Co2
metabolic alkalosis would be high for both
pH: 7.37, CO2: 55, HCO3: 30
respiratory acidosis
hyperventilation leads to
alkalosis
losing too much Co2
