Question | Answer |

What would you look at if you wanted to determine the oxygenation status of a patient? | Pao2 |
An increase in CO2 cause the PH levels to become? | Acidic |
An increase in HCO3 is | Alkalotic |
Patient comes in with a PH of 7.52 a PaCo2 of 25 a HCO3 of 25 and a BE +1. What would be your interpretation of this blood gas? | Respiratory Alkalosis |
patient has a PH of 7.10 Co2 of 20 HCO3 of 10 and BE of -20 what is your interpretation of this blood gas? | Metabolic Acidosis |
What do you look at in a blood gas to determine ventilation? | PaCo2 |
What is the normal range for B.E.? | -2-(+2) |
What is the normal HCO3 value? | 24 |
You would add ____ or _____ to improve oxygenation? | O2 or PEEP |
True or False: A blood gas would be considered normal if the BE was NOT within the normal limits | False. Everything must be within normal limits for the blood gas to be considered normal |
You get a blood gas and the values are PH 7.28 CO2 is 48 HCO3 is 32 and BE is +10 what would you assess the problem to be? ( include whether is is fully compensated or partially). | Partially Compensated Respiratory Acidosis |
You get a PH and the ABG reads PH is 7.44 CO2 is 26 HCO3 is 23 and BE is -1 what would you assess the problem is? (include whether it is compensated or uncompensated) | uncompensated respiratory alkalosis |
If you get a gas and the PH is within normal range and CO2 and HCO3 are moving in the same direction then how would u first classify the gas? | Fully compensated |
If you get a ABG and it reads PH is 7.56 co2 is 42 HCO3 is 34 and BE is +5. Then how would you name this gas? | Acute or uncompensated metabolic alkalosis |
At what PH should we intubate the patient | 7.2 |
Severe hypoxemia is is classified and PaO2 less than ___ mm Hg? | 40 |
What is a normal range for PaO2 on room air? | 80-100 mm Hg |
If CO2 and HCO3 are moving in opposite directions then what first name would you give the gas? | Acute or uncompensated |
What is the range of moderate hypoxemia | 40-59 mm Hg |
You get an ABG and it reads: PH is 7.42 CO2 is 43 HCO3 is 25 and BE is +2. How would you classify this gas? | Normal |
If PH decreases below 7.35 then it is? | Acidic |
A PH above 7.45 is? | Alkalotic |
True or false: the FIO2 a patient is on is also shows up when reading a ABG | True |
If you are hypoventilating the your CO2 will | increase |
If you were hyperventilating then your CO2 would? | decrease |
