Hemostasis: Acid Base Balance




What is the major clinical manifestation of acid base imbalance?




Acidosis


Alkalosis

Affects CNS. Severity depends on how long the imbalance exist.




Acidosis: (metabolic or respiratory)


Symptoms are indicative of depression of the CNS. Pretty common




Alkalosis: (metabolic or respiratory)


Symptoms are indicative of increased stimulation of the CNS. Death is a rare occurance.




Hemostasis: Acid Base Balance


Respiratory Acidosis





Rapid, shallow respiration (hypoventilation)


Disorientation, decreased level of LOC


Decreased blood pressure


Venticular irritablity from Hyper K+


Hypoxemia (secondary to respiratory depression)





Hemostasis: Acid Base Balance


Respiratory Alkalosis

Deep, rapid breathing (hyperventilation)


CNS stimulation, resulting in confusion, lethargy, seizures




Hypokalemia


Hyperreflexia, muscle weakness, tingling extremities

Hemostasis: Acid Base Balance


Metabolic Alkalosis

N/V


Increased irritability, disorientation, restlessness


Muscle cramping, tremors, seizures


Shallow, slow respiration (hypoventilation)


Dyshythmias (tachycardia) --> hypo K+.



Hemostasis: Acid Base Balance


Metabolic Acidosis

Drowsiness, confusion, headache, disorientation


Deep, rapid respiration (Kussmaul conpensatory action by the lungs)




GI problems (N/V/D)


Dyshythmias --> hyperK+


Decease BP

Hemostasis: Inflammation


What are the cardinal sign of inflammation?

Redness --> vasodilation


Heat--> increased metabolism, local vasodilation


Pain


Edema: Fluid shift


Loss of function: decreased movement due to swelling and pain

Hemostasis: Signs of Infection


Generalized (



Fever


Localized inflammation


Joint pain


Fatigue


Increased WBC

Hemostasis: Signs of Infection

GI Tract



D/N/V

Hemostasis: Signs of Infection

Respiratory Tract

Purulent sputum


Sore throat


Chest Pain


Congestion

Hemostasis: Signs of Infection

Urinary Tract

Urgency and frequency


Hematuria


Purulent discharge


Dysuria


Flank pain

Hemostasis



Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome


(SIRS)




Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS)





Precipitating Event


Respiratory: increased vascular permeability leads to alveoli collapse and development of ARDS




Cardiac compromise, decreased systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and vasodilation lead to severe hypotension and decreased cardiac output.




Neurologic problem of confusion, agitation and lethargy




Acute renal failure secondary to decreased renal perfusion




GI tract problems are abdominal distension and paralytic ileus




Hypermetabolic response with hyperglycemia and insulin resistance




Failure of the coagulation system leads to development of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC)

Hemostasis




Spesis

1) Compromised respiratory function




a.Initially: hyperventilation occurs as a compensating mechanism




b. Hypoventilation and respiratory acidosis occur when compensation fails




c. Respiratory failure and development of ARDS




2. Compromised cardiac function




a. Initially increased cardiac output with decreased systemic vascular resistance (SVR) secondary to hypermetabolic state.




b. Cardiac decompensation with development of severe hypotension and MODS




3. Development of severe hypotension progressing to septic shock despite adequate fluid resuscitation




4. Development of SIRS progressing to MODS

Hemostasis: Electrolytes




Hypokalemia





Fatigue, muscle weakness, hyporeflexia


Decreased muscle tone and reflexes


Confusion, drowsiness, fatigue, bradycardia, weak irregular pulse


ECG changes: flat T wave, ST depression, U waves, PVCs
