Q

2nd step in analysis ABG

A

look at pac02

21
Q

what if step two is not normal

A

its respiratory

22
Q

step three is what

A

look at hc03

23
Q

what is step two is normal but 3 is not

24
Q

deciding if uncompensated

A

do values
go same direction PH
opposite
normal

25
uncompensated Respiratory acidosis Ph Paco2 Hc03
down up normal
26
uncompensated Respiratory alk Ph Paco2 Hc03
up down normal
27
uncompensated metabolic acidosis Ph Paco2 Hc03
down norla down
28
uncompensated metabolic alk Ph Paco2 Hc03
up normal up
29
how long does respiratory compensation take
minutes to ours
30
how long does renal compensation take
1-5 dats
31
compensated Respiratory acidosis Ph Paco2 Hc03
down up up
32
compensated Respiratory alk Ph Paco2 Hc03
up down down
33
``` compensated metabolic acidosis Ph Paco2 Hc03 ```
down down down
34
``` compensated metabolic alk Ph Paco2 Hc03 ```
up up up
35
mixed disorder
+1 primary acid base disorder
36
interpret metablic acidosis
keto, posion, renal failure
37
interpret metablic ack
sodium overloud, K depleted, vomtting, conns
38
interpret resp ack
hyperventilation | pain anxiety fever
39
interpret resp acid
hypoventilation | COPD, sleep apnea
40
causes of impaired oxygenation
``` less inspiration alveolar hypoventilation diffusion impairemtn shunt ventilation / perfusion mismatch ```
41
alveolar hypoventailtion rule of thumb
Pa02 should only decrease 1 for every 1 Pac02 increase
42
major mechanism for hypoxemia
hypoventilation
43
how we treat respiratory acidosis
hypoventilation (sputum)
44
how we treat respiratory alk
hyperventatilion | oxygen therapy
45
2 ways to analyze a mixed disorder
chart | clinical relevance
46
define pa02
partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood
47
define sa02
oxygen saturation in arterial blood
48
define sp02
measured using oximeter
