Question | Answer |

slight indentation 2mm, normal contours, associated with interstitial fluid volume 30% above normal | 1+ Pitting Edema |
deeper pit after pressing 4mm, lasts longer than 1+, fairly normal contour | 2+ Pitting Edema |
deep pit 6 mm, remains several seconds after pressing, skin swelling by general inspection | 3+ Pitting Edema |
deep pit 8 mm, remains for a prolonged time after pressing possibly minutes, frank swelling | 4+ Pitting Edema |
fluid can no longer be displaced secondary to excessive interstitial fluid accumulation, no pitting, tissue palpates as form or hard, skin surface shiny, warm, moist. | Brawny Edema |
7.35-7.45 | normal pH |
<7.35 | acid |
>7.45 | base |
35-45 mm Hg | normal PaCO2 (carbon dioxide) |
>45 mm Hg | acid PaCO2 (carbon dioxide) |
<35 mm Hg | base PaCO2 (carbon dioxide) |
22-26 mEq/L | normal HCO3- (bicarbonate) |
<22 mEq/L | acid HCO3- (bicarbonate) |
>26 mEq/L | base HCO3- (bicarbonate) |
headache, confusion, drowsiness, increase respiratory rate and depth, nausea, vomitting | metabolic acidosis |
dizziness, tingling of fingers, toes, depressed respirations | metabolic alkalosis |
lightheadedness, inability to concentrate, hyperventilation | respiratory alkalosis |
