normal bicarbonate
HCO3 = 22-26
normal base deficit/excess
-2 to +2
what is the pH scale
power (logarithmic) scale that shows the inverse relationship of hydrogen ions-low pH/acid =pH lots of H
buildup of CO2
acid
what does high CO2 indicate
acid builduplow pHapnea/hypoventilation
what is Co2 regulation a function of
CO2 regulation is a function of minute folume| minute volume = tidal volume (Vt) x RR (F)
Vt on ventilator settings
tidal volume
tidal volume on ventilator settings
Vt
RR on ventilator
frequency = F
F on ventilator settings
RR
CO2 over 45
acid buildup| hypoventilation/apnea
CO2 if apnea
high Co2 over 45| acidosis
CO2 if hypoventilation
high Co2 over 45.| acidic
CO2 under 35
alkalosis| high pH
CO2 if alkalosis
under 35
Vt x R
minute ventilatiob = Vt x F| tidal volume x RR
how does pH and bicarbonate move
opposite directions22 is acidotic26 is alkalosis
pH if too much bicarb
bicarb is alkalotic| over 26 bicarbonate
pH if too little bicarbonate
under 22| acidosis
under 22 bicarb
too little bicarbonatebicarb and pH move in teh same directionalkalosis
what is base excess/deficit
the amount of excess or deficit amount of base present in blood
base deficit of -4
indicator for blood transufusion
base deficit where you would consider blood transfusion
base deficit of
base deficit where death is likely
over -19
