14 y/o pH 7.27/PCO2 = 27/ HCO3 = 12
Na = 145, cl = 105
acid base status

metabolic/respiratory
pure or complicated
anion gap
acidemic
primary - metabolic
Winters -
compenstated PCO2 = 1.5(HCO3)+8+/-2
= 1.5(12)+8 = 26
pure
anion gap = Na- (Cl +HCO3) = normal 10
hers 145 - (105 + 12) = 28
acidemia /alkalemia pH
normal HCO3
normal PCO2
acidemic pH<7.37
alkalosis pH > 7.42
HCO3 = 24
PCO2 = 40
why is "compensated" acid/base disturbance a bad term?
normal physiologic response is better
anion gap mnomonic
mud piles - new (KumiLes)
methanol - will almost never see this
Uremia (BUN ~>100) - won't see this often. If they pee probably will be normal
dka ** - don't give bicarb, fix acid base problem. also other ka (e.g. alcoholic). give D5NS vs. NS so that they have something to metabolize.
paraldehyde - won't see this
phenformin (phen phen) - removed market but cousin is metformin
iron -
INH - give paradoxime
****lactic acidosis -
ethelene glycol
salcilate
glucose 450. how do you manage?
*order 2-3 Ls of NS fluid in first few hours because of glucose diuresis
* insulin drip = .1units/KG -> reduces gap by moving ketones into cells so that they can be. keep insulin going until gap is gone. if glucose is low (<200) add glucose plus insulin.
* no insulin bolus
* chem 7 every 2 hours to follow gap - follow bicarb
* serum acetone - follows ketones
7 y/o w/ pH 7.27/PCO2 = 27/ HCO3 = 12, Na 142, cl = 120
anion gap
tx:
ag = 142 - (120+12) = 10 = normal = non anion gap acidosis
tx: bicarb =
bicarb deficit mequivalents = (tot body water (L))(delta bicarb)
(30kg x .6)(24-12) = 216 meq ->
give 1 amp bicarb (50meg/amp) w/ NS
non anion gap acidosis mnumonic
hard up
h = hyperventilation -
A = altitude/acetezolemide - take when they go to altitude - causes urine to waste bicard to cause you hyperventilate
R = renal tubual acidosis
D = diarrhea ****
U = ureter problems post surgery
P = pancreatic fistulas
24 y/o w/ ph = 7.08/ pco2 = 38 / hco3 = 12
acidemic
metabolic
winters -
1.5*(12) + 8 = 26
actual pco2 = 38
not pure. also has respiratory acidosis
mixed respiratory and metabolic acidosis ddx
* after resucitation - havent been breathing or perfusing. wait a few minutes after resucitation before taking labs
* seizure - don't breath and have lactic acidosis - wait a few minutes
* dieing patients
72 y/o pnuemonia. ABG: 7.36/20/12
what acid base disturbance
ddx
metabolic acidosis
winters PCO2 = 1.5(12)+8 = 26
actual pco2 = 20
not compensated
mixed metabolic acidosis/ respiratory ALKALOSIS - PT is breathing too fast
ddx:
aspirin (think of in kids)
*pending sepsis
* fulminant liver failure
HCO3 less than what must be worked up?
<20 must be explained before you go to bed
57 y/o asthma/COPD exacerbation
ABG: 7.24/60/
respiratory acidosis
can't use winters because not metabolic primary
pH_predicted = -0.08(delta PCO2) +7.4
= -0.8(60-40) + 7.4 = 7.24
pure respiratory acidosis
tx:
- nebs
- consider transfering to ICU
at what PCO2 should you transfer to the ICU?
transfer to ICU if >70
32F pregnant w/ SOB and fatigue
ABG: 7.52/35/28
alkalemic
metabolic alkalosis b/c bicarb > 24
path: vomiting gives metabolic alk and SOB -> hypervent -> resp alk
winters PCO2= 1.5(28)+8 = 50
PCO2 = 35
metabolic alkalosis and respiratory alkalosis
tx: help nausea
8 weeks pregnant, vomiting dehydrated, nausea, IV started
ABG: 7.4/42//24
Na = 140, Cl = 90
why bicarb normal
ag = 140 - (90+24) = 26 ->
metabolic ACIDOSIS!!! and metabolic alkalosis (not acidemic though)
why bicarb normal = puking
tx: give them something to metabolize. give D5NS to give her something to metabolize. no insulin needed.
* gap is being caused by ketones. track ketones to see if she is getting better. Do udip...track ketones
small bowel expretion. getting demoral for pain
ABG: 7.38/30/28
na = 150
cl = 95
why PCO2 and HCO3 weird?
ddx?
tx:
pH should be high
winters PCO2 = 1.5(28) + 8 = 50
PCO2 = 28 ->
respiratory alkalosis
ag = 150- (95+28) >10 ->
metabolic acidosis
high bicarb means respiratory acidosis
Therefore: mixed respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, and metabolic acidosis
elevated means
ddx:
* impending sepsis + NG tube
tx:
will get worse quickly - get help
when do you get an ABG
post op pt
VBG is not good for PCO2
7.4/19/95
ph should be higher with low PCO2
winter PCO2 predicted = 30...
anion gap
AG = Na- (Cl + HCO3) >10 abnormal = metabolic acidosis
acidosis is due to something other than H+
winters formula/
PCO2_predicted?
PCO2_predicted = 1.5(HCO3) +8
if PCO2_actual > PCO2_predicted -> respiratory acidosis
if PCO2_actual < PCO2_predicted -> respiratory acidosis
what do you think of with mixed metabolic acidosis/ respiratory ALKALOSIS
pending sepsis b/c of increased lactic acid preduction
non-anion gap acidosis ddx
HARD UP
Metabolic anion gap acidosis ddx
MUDPILES
Metabolic alkalosis ddx
1. emesis, NG tube,
2. hyperadrenocorticoid state, hypomagnesia, hypokalemia
pure respiratory alkalosis ddx
1. increase in estrogen from preggers or early liver failure
2. early sepsis
3. psychogenic hyperventilation
4. assisted ventilation
mixed metabolic acidosis and respiratory alkalosis
1. impending sepsis
2. ASA overdose
3. fulminant liver failure (hyperventilate from estrogen but can't metabolize lactate
4. pulmonary edema
mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis
1. seizure
2. cardiac arrest
