5 days ago · If the pH is normal check the anion gap, the base excess, and the PaCO 2 as there may be hidden disturbances. Check the PaO 2 and the A-a oxygen difference. Is it what is expected given the FiO 2? Check the Hb, the glucose, and the electrolytes. Does the gas fit the patient? Acidosis. Anion gap : K + + Na + - Cl - - HCO 3 = 8 - 16 mmol/l.
6 days ago · Match the buffering system with its response to pH to maintain acid-base balance A. Takes seconds to attempt correcting acid-base imbalance B. Intermediate response: takes minutes to correct acid-base imbalance C. May take days to correct an acid-base imbalance 1. Renal 2. Chemical 3. Respiratory

4 days ago · Caused by decrease in HCO 3 − balanced by an increase in unmeasured acid ions, not by an increase in chloride. Causes include salicylates, methanol, paraldehyde, ethylene glycol, lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis (from diabetes or starvation), and uremia.
6 days ago · In patients with impaired expiration associated with emphysema, effective compensation for the acid-base imbalance would be: Select one: a. increased rate and depth of respiration. b. decreased rate and depth of respiration.
6 days ago · A. The weak acid in the buffer neutralizes bases. The conjugate base neutralizes acids B. The conjugate base neutralizes bases. The weak acid neutralizes acids. C. The weak acid in the buffer is attracted to strong acids and surrounds them, neutralizing them. Conjugate bases act in a similar fashion on strong bases.
