Question

Please provide your interpretation of the following acid-base values and determine compensation. 1. pH 7.25 Co2 HCO3 Co2 4. pH 745 2. pH 7.40 Co2 37 HCO3 26 3. pH 7.55 HCO3 24 Co2 HCO3 30 5. pH 7.60 Co2 HCO3 38 Please provide your interpretation with determination of compensation and interventions based on the results. 6. pH 731 CO2 50 mm Hg HCO3-22 mEq/L Interpretation: Intervention based on result: 7. PH 7.31. CO2 44 mmHg. HCO3 20 mEq/L Interpretation: Intervention based on result: 8. PH 746, CO2 32mmHg. HCO3- 23mEq/L Interpretation: Intervention based on result: Based on the scenario, provide your interpretation with determination of compensation and interventions based on the results. 9. A 23 year old man was found to be apneic and unresponsive in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) following reconstructive knee surgery. About 30 minutes earlier he received 25 mg of IV morphine for pain relief. While he is being assessed and resuscitated, an arterial blood gas (ABG) was taken: pH 7.08 CO2 80 mmHg HCO3 23 mEq/L Interpretation: Intervention based on result: 10. A 26-year old woman is undergoing treatment for frequent panic attacks. The attacks are accompanied by hyperventilation, a racing heartbeat, dizziness, feelings of unreality and tingling in the hands. In one particularly severe attack, when taken to the emergency department, an arterial blood gas (ABG) was taken: HCO3 22 mEq/L pH CO2 26 mmHg 7.52 Interpretation: Intervention based on result:

Answer 1

answers,

acid balance disorder are calculated using some ideas about ph , paco2 , bicarbonate level in blood , what is acidosis, alkalosis .... normaly our body maintain the level of acid (eg, co2) and alkali(HCO3) in an equilibrium through the working of kidney and lungs.. suppose if the amount of acid in our body increases, body tries to neutralize the effect of excess acid by using alkali and vice versa.

normal blood ph = 7.35 - 7.45

normal paco2 = 38 - 42 mmhg

normal

acidema - an arterial ph below 7.35

alkalaemia- arterial ph above 7.45

acidosis - lowering of ph , may be due to fall in serum HCO3 or rise in partial pressure of co2 (Paco2)

alkalosis - rising ph , may be due to rise in serum HCO3 or fall in paco2
