Acid-Base Balance

        Help!  

Question
Answer
what is the state called in which arterial blood is more acidic than normal? aka increased concentration of hydrogen ions.   show
🗑
show base excess (BE)  
🗑
show decreased hydrogen ion concentration in the blood; blood pH greater than 7.45  
🗑
how is BE expressed?   show
🗑
show +2 mEq/L  
🗑
what is the buffer base?   show
🗑
show 48-52 mEq/L  
🗑
what is a titrable, nonvolitile acid called?   show
🗑
show the by-product of protein catabolism  
🗑
show fixed  
🗑
show the specific equation for calculating the pH of the bicarbonate buffer system of the blood  
🗑
show H-H equation  
🗑
show it equals the pH of blood plasma, and since all buffer systems in the blood are in equilibrium, the pH of one system equals the pH of the entire plasma solution.  
🗑
what is hypercapnia?   show
🗑
what is the presence of lower than normal amounts of CO2 in the blood (PaCO2)?   show
🗑
show non-respiratory processes resulting in acidemia  
🗑
show metabolic alkalosis  
🗑
show hypoventilation, the loss of HCO3- or gaining fixed acids resulting in acidemia  
🗑
show hyperventilation, resulting in alkalemia  
🗑
the plasma concentration of HCO3- that exists if PCO2 is normal is known as ____   show
🗑
how is standard bicarbonate expressed?   show
🗑
show 40 mm Hg  
🗑
what is an acid that can be excreted in its gaseous form?   show
🗑
show carbonic acid  
🗑
show 24,000 mmol/L total 13,000 mmol/L of volatile  
🗑
effect of small changes in the hydrogen ion concentration?   show
🗑
show normal metabolism  
🗑
H+ regulation is of utmost biological importance? T or F   show
🗑
show the H+ concentration of body fluids  
🗑
what property of H+ is the reason for the need to regulate its concentration?   show
🗑
show its reactions with proteins can change their physical contour, rendering the enzyme inactive  
🗑
wat is the normal, life sustaining, pH range of the body?   show
🗑
what would be the results of an ABG if patient is hypoventilating? (uncompensated)   show
🗑
what gas is carbonic acid (H2CO3) in equilibrium with?   show
🗑
what would be the results of an ABG if the patient is hyperventilating? (uncompensated)   show
🗑
show Hb buffering/transporting H+  
🗑
H+ + HCO3-= H2CO3   show
🗑
show partial compensated metabolic acidosis  
🗑
show isohydric buffering and ventilation  
🗑
interpret the ABG: pH- 7.52 PaCO2- 40 HCO3- 30   show
🗑
show it increases from 24 to approximately 28.5  
🗑
what disease can increases fixed acid production?   show
🗑
show ventilation  
🗑
show by reabsorbing HCO3 back into the blood  
🗑
what can be done to correct respiratory acidosis and improve alveolar ventilation?   show
🗑
what are some signs of respiratory alkalosis?   show
🗑
how do the kidneys compensate for respiratory alkalosis?   show
🗑
what is a buffer solution?   show
🗑
how are blood buffers classified?   show
🗑
show H2CO3 and a conjugate base of HCO3-  
🗑
what does the non-bicarbonate (closed) buffer system consist of?   show
🗑
what is the main function difference in between an open and closed buffer system?   show
🗑
in a closed buffer system, when does buffering activity stop?   show
🗑
show O2 therapy  
🗑
show plasma erythrocytes  
🗑
show Hb, organic and inorganic phosphates, and plasma proteins  
🗑
show volatile and fixed  
🗑
what acids acids does an open buffer system buffer?   show
🗑
show open  
🗑
open and closed buffer systems function in isolation. T or F   show
🗑
in which 2 ways can metabolic acidosis occur?   show
🗑
what is the normal anion gap range?   show
🗑
what does the buffering of a fixed acid produce?   show
🗑
show Hb it is the most abundant  
🗑
show blood plasma  
🗑
show lungs and kidneys  
🗑
show lungs  
🗑
if one acid-excretion system fails, the other will compensate. T or F   show
🗑
why is CO2 elimination crucial?   show
🗑
what is the anion gap?   show
🗑
show you can use it to see if the pH, PCO2, and HCO3 values for an abg are compatible; prevents transcription errors amd analyzer inaccuracies; also, to predict the result of changing the value of one or more of the variable  
🗑
show to eliminate the effects of respiratory involvement; aka to see whats going on at the metabolic level  
🗑
show metabolic acidosis  
🗑
show lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, renal failure. aspirin, formic acid, ethylene glycol  
🗑
what are some of the causes of normal anion gap metabolic acidosis?   show
🗑
what are some of the symptoms of metabolic acidosis?   show
🗑
show below 7.2  
🗑
show if above 7.2, nothing, dr. will need to treat underlying condition if below 7.2, intravenous infusion of NaHCO3  
🗑
show hyperventilation  
🗑
show blood pH  
🗑

🗑
the kidneys also regulate HCO3 levels. T or F   show
🗑
show loss of fixed acids or gain of blood buffer base; either one increases plasma HCO3
