Acid Base table...

Description

pH (7.35-7.45)  (alkalosis)

PC02 (35-45)  (acidosis) if compensated

HC03 (22-26)  (alkalosis)

 (acidosis)

 (alkalosis) if compensated

 (acidosis)

 (alkalosis)

 (alkalosis)

 (acidosis)

 (acidosis)

 (alkalosis)

 (alkalosis) compensation by kidneys  or = no compensation

Result Metabolic Alkalosis -decrease in acid or increase in alkali -C02 accumulates in the blood -resp compensation involves slow, shallow breathing Metabolic Acidosis -decreased ability of kidneys to excrete acid or conserve alkali -Resp’s are depth are usually elevated -lungs are trying to blow off C02 Respiratory Alkalosis -increase loss of C02 from lungs -hyperventilation -deep, rapid breathing -kidneys are retaining bicarbonate to offset the acidosis Respiratory Acidosis -retention of CO2 by lungs -hypoventilation, can’t catch breath, rapid, shallow breaths -compensation is occurring if both the PC02 and HC03 are high, kidneys are compensating...
