00:01
So from the question it is clear that kirsten is experiencing metabolic acidosis.
00:13
Okay, so that is probably a result of severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
00:30
So you know metabolic acidosis it is characterized by a decrease in blood ph.
00:37
So the blood ph decreases and also the bicarbonate ion level also decreases.
00:48
Okay and the levels of hydrogen ion increases.
00:53
Okay so this is what happens in metabolic acidosis.
00:56
Okay so now you know if we have to talk about the compensation of metabolic acidosis then what happens is you know in this case kirsten's ability to compensate is compromised.
01:11
Okay which is probably due to the you know the severity of her like condition.
01:17
So compensation for metabolic acidosis it includes first of all it includes increased respiratory rate.
01:31
Okay which happens the the logic of that is that we need to decrease the carbon dioxide levels.
01:39
Okay that is one form of you know that is that is basically the respiratory compensation.
01:51
Okay then one more thing that happens is the kidneys...
