Acid base abg’s - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

As pH goes, so does my Pt! Except for K pH ↓ Pt goes ↓ (HR, RR, all vitals) K goes ↑ pH ↑ Pt goes ↑ K goes ↓ Except for K – it does the opposite pH ↑ : Alkalosis • Seizures, hyperactivity, borborgemy (↑BS) Kausmal breathing = MacKausamal (Metabolic Acidosis breathing) Lung: Respiratory Everything else: Metabolic When you don’t know: it’s probably metabolic acidosis (It’s super common) Ventilators High Pressure Alarm • Obstructed airfl...

Mark Klimek Lecture Notes LECTURE 1: Acid Base Balance & Ventilator Interpreting blood gases (remember the rules of the B’s)  If the pH and the bicarb are both in the same direction then it’s metaBolic (Bicarb Both Bolic), if they are in different directions then it is respiratory  If bicarb is normal and the pH is low or high then its respiratory  You will be given 8 values for arterial blood gas, always first look at the pH and the bicarb first  You get acidosis and al...

George Kent is a 54 year old widower with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and was rushed to the emergency department with increasing shortness of breath, pyrexia, and a productive cough with yellow-green sputum. He has difficulty in communicating because of his inability to complete a sentence. One of his sons, Jacob, says he has been unwell for three days. Upon...

KEEP CALM and PASS NCLEX with MARK KLIMEK Review 1.1. Acid-base balance/ventilators Rule of the B’s.. If the pH & the bicarb are both in the same direction = metabolic If they are in different directions = respiratory pH = 7.35-7.45 acidosis/alkalosis HCO3 (bicarb) = 22-26 (2+2+2 = 6) CO2 = 45-35 ex: pH: 7.30 = bicarb: 20 = = metabolic acidosis ex: pH: 7.58 = bicarb: 32 = = metabolic alkalosis ex: pH: 7.22 = bicarb: 30 = = respiratory acidosis ex: You are providing care ...
