Alkalosis

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the bronchial mucosa that causes bronchial hyper responsiveness, constriction of the airways, and variable airflow obstruction that is reversible. Asthma occurs at all ages, with approximately half of all cases developing during childhood and another third before age 40 (McCance & Huether, 2014). The most common symptom of asthma is wheezing. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, chronic coughing, chest tightness, and trouble sleeping at…

He also complains of a cough that is becoming more frequent and persistent. Mr. Marlboro has a history of asthma as a young adult and was diagnosed with hypertension at the age of 40. Mr.…

body is not receiving enough oxygen. - ABG: Uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with hypoxia. Prabha is having 36 respirations per minute which is classified has hyperventilation. The lungs are offloading CO2 and unable to pick up and deliver oxygen. -Sinus tachycardia and pulse of 124, signs that the body is trying to compensate for hypoxemia.…

Introduction Beside the increase in O2 and CO2, there is a compromise of lactate acid and acid- base balance from a high intensity exercise. The factors that avoid this change in the homeostatic limits are PO2 and PCO2, and pH. Which are maintained form increase in oxygen delivery to the alveoli and CO2 exhalation from the body (King, 2018). Acid- Base balance are affected by hydrogen ions which are formed from the lost of electrons. When a molecule releases hydrogen ion it is determined as…

1. What clinical findings are likely in R.S. as a consequence of his COPD? R.S., the patient, has many diagnoses, findings like his history of coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial vascular disease, irregular ABG, chronic bronchitis- COPD, and of course that leads to the possible diagnosis of pneumonia. Therefore, this leads to a very long list of signs and symptoms. The signs and symptoms of COPD type B, which is classified as a “blue bloater” (Copstead, & Banasik, 2010, pg. 483), is…

A 14-year-old male with a history of poorly controlled asthma was transported to the University of Minnesota Masonic hospital by way of Maple Grove hospital with status asthmaticus on Wednesday, February 24th. The patient began having breathing difficulty on the eve of the 22nd. On the 23rd, he called his mother from school and stated that he “was having a hard time breathing”. Initially, the patient was brought to his allergist office, where his SpO2 was 84%. He was given albuterol and sent…

Diabetes and Ketoacidosis According to the American Diabetes Association, the incidence of diabetes in Americans is nearly 1.7 million people per year. (American Diabetes Association, 2015). Diabetes is a condition that results in higher than normal blood-glucose levels, known as hyperglycemia. There are two forms of diabetes called Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, is the result of the body’s inability to produce insulin. This is typically…

permeability, mucosal edema, and smooth muscle contraction" (Huether & McCance, 2012, p. 689). The result of this aftermath is an obstructed airway with altered oxygenation and respiratory compromise. As these acute events unfold, respiratory alkalosis will result from an adaptive hyperventilation. The hyperventilation occurs when the body 's respiratory center detects low levels of circulating oxygen (Huether & McCance, 2012). However, this course can quickly progress to respiratory…

Since early 2000, there has been a significant increase of Americans who suffer from Renal Failure which was up by 57%. There are five stages of Chronic Kidney disease, and each stage has a specific characteristic which is defined by the glomerular filtrations rate. The fifth and final stage is End-Stage Renal Failure which is when the kidney is functioning at a GFR of less than 15%. According to the United States Renal Data System Annual Report more than 615,000 American’s are being treated for…
