Blood gases

QuestionAnswer
When the blood gas is compensated, the pH is ? within normal limits
When the blood gas is uncompensated, the pH is? abnormal
Normal values for pH is ? 7.35 – 7.45
Normal value for PC02 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide is? pC02: 35 – 45 mmHg
Normal value for P02 (partial pressure of oxygen)? 80-100 mmHg
Normal value of HC03 (bicarbonate)? 22 – 26 mEq/L
It's Alkalosis if: pH above 7.40
It's Acidosis if: pH below 7.40:
It's Metabolic if : HCO3 abnormality
It's Respiratory if: C02 abnormality
Respiratory Compensation involves: Hyperventilation or hypoventilation to alter CO2 blood levels
Metabolic Compensation involves: Reabsorbtion or elimination of H+ and HCO3− by the kidneys
Buffering: H+ + HCO3− (bicarb) ↔ H2CO3 (carbonic acid) ↔ CO2 + H2O * NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate)
pH: 7.173 pC02: 64** P02 : 183** HC03: 24 uncompensated respiratory acidosis
pH: 7.483 pC02: 31.9* P02: 509.8** HC03: 23 uncompensated respiratory alkalosis
pH: 7.353 pC02: 63 P02: 190** HC03: 35* compensated respiratory acidosis CO2 retainer
pH: 7.384 pC02: 49 P02: 54 HC03: 29 compensated respiratory acidosis 50/50 club COPD
pH: 7.208 pC02: 35 P02: 67 HC03: 14 uncompensated acute metabolic acidosis – lungs are trying to help out- hypoventalitating, kidneys have not kicked in to help pH
pH - 7.30 PaCO2 - 30 mmHg, HCO3 - 14 mEq/L PaO2 - 50 mmHg compensated metabolic acidosis with severe hypoxemia

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
