primary mediator of fluids   show
🗑
show stage where fluid moves from one space to another  
🗑
show fluid in interstitial compartments  
🗑
show normal to high (hemoconcentration)  
🗑
FVD potassium   show
🗑

🗑
show pulmonary edema  
🗑
neck vein distension   show
🗑
show prevent cerebral edema  
🗑
>>> causes of FVE (10)   show
🗑
show excessive hypertonic fluids, binge drinking contest, psych disorders, drowning in fresh water, inappropriate dialysis  
🗑
FVE, potassium   show
🗑
FVE, sodium   show
🗑
FVE, BUN   show
🗑
show low, <1.005  
🗑
show normal to high (stress response, >120)  
🗑
show lethargy, weakness  
🗑
show increased excitability  
🗑
show releases H+ ions in water  
🗑
show binds to H+ ions in water  
🗑
show prevent major acid-base changes; carbonic acid-bicarbonate, protien, and phosphate buffer system  
🗑
carbonic acid   show
🗑
show bicarb: carbonic acid = 20:1  
🗑
show primary system, 50% of activity, to maintain balance l/t have to also use protein and phosphate buffer systems, 1-2 hours to kick in, bicarb is the major ECF buffer  
🗑
show hard for cells to grow  
🗑
show carbonic acid compensates and dissociates into CO2 and H20, CO2 exhaled by lungs, system activates rapidly but exhausted quickly  
🗑
respiratory buffer system, breathing changes   show
🗑
renal buffer system: time and effectiveness   show
🗑
renal buffering system, bicarbonate   show
🗑
show regulatory mechanism to return pH to normal level by transforming acids and bases within the body  
🗑
primary metabolic disturbance   show
🗑
acute primary respiratory disturbance   show
🗑
show pH is fully corrected (normal)  
🗑
show buffers are in the process of working; pH is low but the bicarb is elevating to compensate (or pH is high but CO2 is elevating to compensate)  
🗑
show *negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration in mEq/L (as H+ ion concentration increases, pH decreases) *normal values 7.35 -7.45 (less is acidotic, more is alkalotic)  
🗑
show *normal 22-26 mEq/L (decreased in acidosis, increased in alkalosis)  
🗑
show indicates the amount of bicarb available in the ECF normal value: +/- 2 mEq/L  
🗑
show *Concentration of anions (HCO3- , Cl-, protein, phosphate, & sulfates) and cations (Na+, K+, MG++, & Ca++) *10-12 mEq/L normal *increased in metabolic acidosis (but can be normal) *calculated by Na - Cl + bicarb  
🗑
SaO2   show
🗑
PaO2   show
🗑
the lower teh PaO2 pressure, the ....   show
🗑
show correlate with dramatic drops in oxygen saturation  
🗑
show 75-100 mmHg (for every year above 60 drop 1mmHg)  
🗑
show *partial pressure of CO2 *reflects adequacy of alveolar ventilation, regulated by lungs, alterations indicate resp disturbance *normal values 35-45 mmHg (less is alkalotic, more is acidotic)  
🗑

🗑
respiratory alkalosis assessment (7)   show
🗑

🗑
respiratory alkalosos CNS signs (10)   show
🗑
show hyperventilation, sepsis/infection, over ventilation, hepatic cirrhosis  
🗑
respiratory alkalosis: labs   show
🗑
show correct cause, CPT, TCDB if able, suction as needed, semi-Fowlers, fluids to thin secretions, low-flow O2 as needed  
🗑
