23
Q

hypomagnemia

A
24
Q

Acid -base basics

A

body wants a ph of 7.4

CO2 and bicarb maintain this

if bicarb drops- ph goes how

if ph high -high bicarb or low CO2

when ph is too low=acidosis
pCo2 is high and HC03 is low

When ph is too high = alkalosis
HCo3 is high and Pco2 is low

respiratory: alteration in pc02
metabolic - alteration in Hc bicarb ( kidneys)

when on system fails–> other system kick in

25
Q

compensation: increased ventilation ( kassuma)
tx: fix underlying cause

26

compensation; dec ventilation to increase pC02

s/sx; associated with low CA and low K

tx: fix underlying cause and associated metabolic problems
IV fluids

27
Q

respiratory acidosis

A

low ph, high Co2
- causes: COPD, narcotic overdose

compensation: reabsorption of bicarb by kidneys

tx; fix underlying cause

28
Q

resp alkalosis

A

low co2 and high ph

cause: hysterical hyperventilaion, salicylate intoxication, PE
