P&P 2010 Acid base blanace

QuestionAnswer
A substance that can release hydrogen (H+) ions.   Acid  
considered an acid.   Medically, CO2  
Converts to carbaminohemoglobin + H + or   When CO2 enters blood:  
Converts to bicarbonate + H + or   When CO2 enters blood:  
Combines with water to form carbonic acid (H2 CO3 )   When CO2 enters blood:  
Body metabolism – CO2 -13000 – 20000 mmol/day   Sources of Acids  
Protein metabolism   Sources of Acids  
Meat main metabolic source of H+ ions   Sources of Acids  
Fat metabolism – fatty acids (ketones)   Sources of Acids  
Starvation, strenuous exercise, undiagnosed diabetes   Sources of Acids  
A substance that can accept H+ ions   Bases (Alkalis)  
Fruits & vegetables   Sources of Base  
Bicarbonate - produced in GI mucosa, pancreas   Sources of Base  
Ammonia - product of amino acid catabolism - converted to urea by liver   Sources of Base  
Measures acidity or alkalinity (base) of fluids   pH scale  
pH of 1   Acid  
PH of 14   Base  
PH of 7   Neutral  
the lower the pH   The more H+ ions present  
pH 7.35 – 7.45   Arterial blood pH  
pH 1.0 – 2.0   Gastric fluid pH  
pH 7.0 – 8.0   Small intestine pH  
pH 4.5 – 6.0   Urine pH  
enzyme function   pH of blood must be maintained for:  
normal metabolism   pH of blood must be maintained for  
Buffer pairs – respond stat   Mechanisms to Control pH  
Respiratory System – within 1 – 3 minutes   Mechanisms to Control pH  
Kidneys – hours – days – but most potent   Mechanisms to Control pH  
CO2 + H2O is When CO2 dissolves in H2O, it becomes carbonic acid  -----H2CO3  
HCO3 + H+ is When bicarbonate picks up a H+ ion, it becomes carbonic acid  
Protein – e.g. carbaminohemoglobin   Buffer Pairs  
Phosphate – phosphates & hydrogen   Buffer Pairs  
Bone – bone carbonate   Buffer Pairs  
Respirations slow   Conserves CO2 to lower pH (more acid)---Respiratory System  (more acid)
Respirations rapid   Eliminates CO2 to raise pH (alkaline)  
Responds within 1 – 3 minutes to a change in blood pH   Respiratory System  
50 – 70% effective in restoring pH   Respiratory System  
May help correct an imbalance (compensation)   Respiratory System  
May be the cause of the pH change   Respiratory System  
Proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs bicarbonate   Renal Regulation  
Distal convoluted tubule secretes H+   Renal Regulation  
Rids body of phosphoric acid, uric acid, lactic acid, ketone bodies   Renal Regulation  
Slow response – hours – days   Renal Regulation  
Very effective at correcting imbalance   Renal Regulation  
May be cause of pH change   Renal Regulation  
pH- 7.35 – 7.45   Arterial Blood Gases  
paCO2 - 35 – 45 mmHg   Arterial Blood Gases  
HCO3 - 22 – 26 mEq/L   Arterial Blood Gases  
paO2 - 80 – 100 mmHg   Arterial Blood Gases  
SaO2 - 95 – 100%   Arterial Blood Gases  
acid - acidosis   pH - below 7.35  
base - alkalosis   pH- above 7.45  
too much CO2 - acid   paCO2 - > 45  
not enough CO2 - base   - < 35 –  
too much bicarb - base   HCO3 - > 26  
not enough bicarb - acid   - < 22  
respiratory problem   if it is the CO2  
metabolic problem   if it is the HCO3  
pH - 7.5 paCO2 - 40 HCO3 - 33    Metabolic alkalosis, Overuse of antacids, Vomiting, Use of K-wasting diuretics
pH - 7.1 paCO2 - 80 HCO3 - 25   Respiratory acidosis, - Causes, Drug overdose, Respiratory depression  
pH - 7.2 paCO2 - 40 HCO3 - 15   Metabolic acidosis - Causes, Too much H+ -- Renal failure, Diabetic ketoacidosis Too little bicarb - intense diarrhea  
intense diarrhea   Too little bicarb  
pH - 7.5 paCO2 - 25 HCO3 - 25   Respiratory alkalosis - Causes, Early pneumonia with tachypnea, Hyperventilation  
pH - 7.3 paCO2 - 80 HCO3 - 40   Respiratory acidosis with partial compensation, COPD  
pH - 7.45 paCO2 - 30 HCO3 - 19   Respiratory alkalosis with complete compensation - Causes, Normal pregnancy  
low pH   Acidosis  
Diminishes cardiac contractions   Acidosis  
Depresses impulse transmission confusion, disorientation, coma  Acidosis  
Decreases vascular response to catecholamines   Acidosis  
COPD, chronic asthma   Respiratory Acidosis  
Additional effects: diaphoresis, cyanosis, irregular pulse   Respiratory Acidosis  
Accumulation of acids or deficit of bases.   Metabolic Acidosis  
Usually an endocrine or metabolic disorder.   Metabolic Acidosis  
Additional effects: headache, drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea   Metabolic Acidosis  
high pH   Alkalosis  
Impaired tissue oxygenation   Alkalosis  
Impaired neuromuscular function   Alkalosis  
Increased synaptic transmission   Alkalosis  
Hyperventilation, ventilators   Respiratory Alkalosis  
Additional effects: headache, vertigo, syncope, paresthesia   Respiratory Alkalosis  
Loss of acids - prolonged vomiting, NG suction, long-term diuretics   Metabolic Alkalosis  
Additional effects: shallow breathing, nausea   Metabolic Alkalosis  
7.35 – 7.45   Arterol blood gas pH-
35 – 45 mmHg   paCO2  
22 – 26 mEq/L   HCO3  
80 – 100 mmHg   paO2  
95 – 100%   SaO2  
pH - below 7.35 acid - acidosis  
pH- above 7.45   base - alkalosis  
low pH   Acidosis  
high pH   Alkalosis  
Acid   A substance that can release hydrogen ions is called a (an):  
Acid   Carbon dioxide is medically considered a (an):  
Fruits and vegetables   not sources of acids  
Fat metabolism, Body metabolism, Protein metabolism   sources of acid  
A substance that accepts hydrogen ions   Base  
A pH of 7.35-7.45 is the normal pH of:   Arterial Blood  
The lower the hydrogen ions the more alkaline the solution is.  (T or F) True  
The more hydrogen ions present, the higher the pH.  (T or F) False  
The respiratory system is a buffer to control pH and responds within:   One - Three Minutes  
The most potent mechanism to control acid-base balance is the   Kidneys  
Lower pH   Slow respirations  
Increase pH Fast respirations  
The proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron reabsorbs   Bicarbonate  
The distal convoluted tubule reabsorbs hydrogen.  (T or F) False  
Renal regulation to correct acid-base imbalances takes   Minutes to hours  
Alkalosis results from a pH below 7.35   (T or F) False  
Partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide below 35 indicates a blood gas that is:   Alkalinic  
Prolonged nasogastric suctioning may lead to:   Respiratory acidosis  
pH - below 7.35 is acid
pH- above 7.45 base
paCO2 - greater than 45 – too much CO2 – acid
paCO2 less than 35 – not enough CO2 – base
HCO3 - greater than 26 – too much bicarb – base
HCO3 less than 22 - – not enough bicarb – acid
