What is the interpretation of a blood gas that shows a ph of 7.44, a PaC02 of 50MMHG, a PaC02 of 48MMHG, And an hco3 of 33MEQ/L in a patient with advanced COPD?

Acute hyperventilation super imposed on chronic respiratory acidosis

What conditions make metabolic alkalosis the most complicated acid base imbalance to treat in acutely ill patients?

Fluid and electrolyte imbalances

What conditions may limit compensatory hypoventilation for metabolic alkalosis?

Anxiety, Pain, Infection, and Fever

What is the interpretation of a blood gas that shows a Ph of 7.10 a PaC02 of 50MMHG and an hco3 of 15MEQ/L?

Combined respiratory and metabolic acidosis

What should be the focus of evaluating oxygenation?

Oxygen delivery to the tissues

What are some categories of tissue hypoxia?

Hypoxic, Anemic, Stagnant, and Histotoxic

What therapies are considered the best treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning?

Hyperbaric oxygen

What laboratory values are used as an indicator of tissue hypoxia?

Lactate

What therapies are considered a response to chronic hypoxemia?

Increased red blood cell production

If Hb and cardiac output are normal, Pa02 must acutely decrease to what levels before clinical manifestations appear?

50 to 60MMHG

Respiratory acidosis is associated with what acid base disorders?

Hypoventilation and acute excerbation of advanced COPD

Respiratory alkalosis is associated with what acid base disorders?

Hyperventilation and arterial hypoxemia

Metabolic acidosis is associated with what acid base disorders?

Prolonged diarrhea and diabetic ketoacidosis

Metabolic alkalosis is associated with what acid base disorders?

Prolonged vomiting and nasogastric drainage

What conditions would be associated with an anion gap? Explain.

Extremely low blood pressure causing tissue hypoxia because of lactic acid and diabetes because of ketoacidosis

Give an example of as anemic hypoxia

Loss of hemoglobin, Iron deficiency, and Sickle cell anemia

Give an example of hypoxic hypoxia

Hyperventilation, decrease in alveolar PaO2, shunt, VQ mismatch, and high altitude breathing

Give an example of stagnant Hypoxia

Cardiac arrest, low blood flow, loss of cardiac output, and severe dehydration

Give an example of histoxic hypoxia

Cyanide poisoning

Give an example of types of hypoxia that do not benefit from the delivery of supplemental oxygen and why they do not

Hypoxic Hypoxia because of shunt and Stagnant Hypoxia because of decreased bloodflow.

When has full acid base compensation occurred?

When PH is at a normal range

What is the interpretation of the following blood gas information: PH is 7.36 PaCO2 is 80MMHG and HC03 is 44MEQ/L?

Uncompensated respiratory acidosis

What is the most common clinical condition associated with respiratory acidosis?

COPD
