pH - 7.52 PCO2 - 31 mmHg PO2- 60 mmHg O2Sat - 90% HCO3 - 25 mEq/L - uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with hypoxemia pH - 7.28 PCO2 - 52 mmHg PO2- 55 mmHg O2Sat - 88% HCO3 - 23 mEq/L - uncompensated respiratory acidosis with hypoxemia pH - 7.48 PCO2 - 37 mmHg PO2- 91 mmHg O2Sat - 97% HCO3 - 38 mEq/L - uncompensated metabolic alkalosis pH - 7.22 PCO2 - 41 mmHg PO2- 87 mmHg O2Sat - 97% HCO3 - 19 mEq/L - uncompensated metabolic acidosis pH - 7.46 PCO2 - 26 mmHgPO2- 63 mmHg O...

What is an ABG? - Answer-a measurement of the partial pressure of O2, CO2, pH, and HCO3 in arterial blood Who normally draws this bloodwork? Where is it drawn from? - Answer-Respiratory therapists draw for this profile most commonly from the radial, brachial, and femoral arteries. What is acidosis? - Answer-It is characterized by an abundance of H+ ions in the arterial blood, with a pH of less than 7.35. What are the acids? - Answer-H+, CO2, and H2CO3 (carbonic acid) How are acids produce...

Diagnose the patient: pH = 7.1 (ACIDIC) pCO2 = 40 mm Hg (normal) HCO3 = 18 (Acidic) - *Metabolic acidosis -Pt could have ketoacidosis -The body will compensate by blowing off and lowering CO2 to become more basic Diagnose the patient: pH = 7.1 (ACIDIC) PCO2 = 60 MM HG (ACIDIC) HCO3 = 22 (normal) - *Respiratory acidosis -Body will increase HCO3 to compensate so pH will come back to normal range (done by kidneys) Diagnose the patient: pH = 7.35 (normal/A) PCO2 = 65 mm (ACIDIC) HCO3 =...

1. George Kent is a 54 year old widower with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and was rushed to the emergency department with increasing shortness of breath, pyrexia, and a productive cough with yellow-green sputum. He has difficulty in communicating because of his inability to complete a sentence. One of his sons, Jacob, says he has been unwell for three days. Upon examination, crackles and wheezes can be heard in the lower lobes; he has a tachycardia and a bounding pulse....

A patient who has required prolonged mechanical ventilation has the following arterial blood gas results: pH 7.48, PaO2 85 mm Hg, PaCO2 32 mm Hg, and HCO3 25 mEq/L. The nurse interprets these results as a. metabolic acidosis. b. metabolic alkalosis. c. respiratory acidosis. d. respiratory alkalosis. - ANS: D The pH indicates that the patient has alkalosis and the low PaCO2 indicates a respiratory cause. The other responses are incorrect based on the pH and the normal HCO3. A patient has ...

What physical assessment would you expect to find when hydrostatic pressure rises higher in the capillary system than the interstitial space? A. Poor skin turgor B. Edema C. Dehydration D. Overhydration - Answer-B A patient presents with nausea and vomiting for 48 hours. The patient also complains of a headache, vision changes, and dizziness. Lab work indicates severe hyponatremia. Which possible clinical condition is of greatest concern based on these findings? A. Gallstones B. Pregna...

A client is prescribed lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, for treatment of hypertension. The following lab findings are reported: Glucose: 112 mg/dL Sodium: 144 mEq/L Chloride: 102 mEq/L Potassium: 5.2 mEq/L What electrolyte abnormalities are present? a. Hyperkalemia b. Hypokalemia c. hypernatremia d. These values are normal. e. Hyponatremia - Answer-a. Hyperkalemia A 2-month-old infant is hospitalized after experiencing 24 hours of vomiting and diarrhea. The following values are reporte...

6 steps to ABG analysis - Answer-1. is the pH normal? 2. Is the CO2 normal? 3. IS the HCO3 normal? 4. Match the CO2 or the HCO3 with the pH 5. Does the CO2 or the HCO3 go the opposite direction of the pH? 6. Are the PO2 and O2 saturation normal? 1. Is the pH normal? - Answer-normal range is 7.35-7.45 acidosis is less than 7.4 alkalosis is greater than 7.4 2. Is the CO2 normal? - Answer-Normal range is 35-45 acidosis is greater than 45 alkalosis is less than 35 3. Is the HCO3 normal? ...

George Kent is a 54 year old widower with a history of COPD and was rushed to the ED with increasing SHOOB, pyrexia, and productive cough with yellow-green sputum. He has difficulty in communicating because of his inability to complete a sentence. One of his sons, Jacob, says he has been unwell for three days. Upon examination, crackles and wheezes can be heard in the lower lobes; he has tachycardia and a bounding pulse. Measurement of the arterial blood gas shows pH 7.3, PaCO2 68mm Hg, HCO3...

What are arterial blood gases? - Answer--reflect oxygenation, gas exchange, and acid-base imbalance -PaO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in arterial blood -SaO2 is the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin PaO2 ranges - Answer-normal is 80-100mmHg <80mmHg = hypoxemia <60 mmHg may be seen in COPD patients < 40 mmHg is life threatening SaO2 ranges - Answer-93-100% is normal -hypoxia is decreased oxygen at the tissue level pH - Answer-•Measures hydrogen ion (H+) conc...
