What might it mean if the leg in which the catheter was inserted begins to swell?
B. Lena Mason, who has diabetes, is admitted in a stuporous condition. Her blood gases show a pH of 7.33, PaCO2 if 40 mmHg, and HCO3- of 20 mEq/L. What type of acid-base imbalance does this patient have? Explain your answer.
Homework Answers
The Swelling in
Catheterization is Due to the thrombophlebitis which occurs due to
the Relase of Various Cytokines
The other is Case of Metabolic Acidosis due to decreased pH value and Also decrease in Bicarbonate in As A Result of compensation.
