Question

Scenario: This patient hasn't eaten in over 24 hours and below are the results. pO2 = 110 mm Hg pCO2 = 30 mm Hg [HCO3-] = base excess = +2 mmol/L pH = 7.30 Acid/base status: Using the given results above - Calculate the missing value of [HCO3-]. Report pH to 2 decimal places. Report [HCO3-] to 1 decimal place. Use the correct units. Indicate whether the patient has acidosis or alkalosis. Indicate whether the primary disturbance is respiratory or metabolic and whether it is uncompensated, partially compensated, or fully compensated. 

          Scenario: This patient hasn't eaten in over 24 hours and below are the results.
pO2 = 110 mm Hg
pCO2 = 30 mm Hg
[HCO3-] = base excess = +2 mmol/L
pH = 7.30
Acid/base status: Using the given results above - Calculate the missing value of [HCO3-]. Report pH to 2 decimal places. Report [HCO3-] to 1 decimal place. Use the correct units.
Indicate whether the patient has acidosis or alkalosis.
Indicate whether the primary disturbance is respiratory or metabolic and whether it is uncompensated, partially compensated, or fully compensated.

Solve the following problem, include if the patient is in acidosis or alkalosis, respiratory or metabolic, and whether the body is compensating for the problem. pH = 7.54 PCO2 = 48 mmHg HCO3- = 31 mEq/L

ACID-BASE BALANCE OF THE BLOOD I need to find whether it is partially compensated, uncompensated, fully compensated, and then metabolic or respiratory. Mr. A. Sidick's arterial blood values were: pH = 7.25, pCO2 = 32 mmHg, HCO3- = 14 mEq/L. Mr. Al K. Losis had an arterial blood report indicating the following: pH = 7.55, pCO2 = 21 mmHg, HCO3- = 18 mEq/L. Mr. R. Spiratori had arterial results indicating: pH = 7.30, pCO2 = 57 mmHg, HCO3- = 26 mEq/L.

A 56-year-old male arrives by ambulance after being found unresponsive, with no pulse or respiration. CPR was started by ambulance personnel. The patient was hypoxic for approximately 10 minutes prior to CPR being started. The initial arterial blood gas (ABG) values are: pH: 7.01 pCO2: 58 mmHg HCO3-: 24 mEq/L 1. The acid-base imbalance demonstrated by the above values is: ________________________________________________________________.

00:01 Next, we need to determine whether the alkalosis is respiratory or metabolic.
00:44 Respiratory alkalosis occurs when there is a decrease in pco2 which is not the case here.
01:38 Pco2 is equal to 48 mm hg...
