Answer 1

In Metabolic Alkalosis
Massive Transfusion is the need to transfuse from one to two times the patient’s normal blood volume. In a
normal adult, this is equivalent to 10-20 units. Most common abnormality is metabolic alkalosis. It results from conversion
of citrate (present in stored blood) and lactate (accumulated due to hypoperfusion) to bicarbonate.acid base imbalance most commonly occurs in Metabolic Alkalosis .

In Acidosis there is low ph than the normal ph if the blood that is below 7.35 but in alkaloAlk the pH is high than the normal pH of blood that is above 7.45.

For example if the either of PaCO₂or HCO₃ is abnormal and pH is not normal, it conclude that there is either respiratory Acidosis it Metabolic and the system is uncompensated . For example if there is high paco2 and hco3 and pH is acidic, then it there will be partial compensation with the hp of this example we can conclude that that the compensatory mechanism has tried but fails to bring the pH to normal.For example the pH is normal instead of being acidic and paoco2 is high and HCO₃ levels are increased, then it means that the compensatory mechanism has retained more HCO₃ to maintain the pH.
