A 45 year old, non-athletic man decided to begin training for a marathon with a 10 mile run. After accomplishing his run he celebrated with a few beers. After a short time, his friends noticed he seemed confused and he complained of a headache. After arrival at the hospital, his ABG results are as follows: pH-7.28 pCO2-36 HCO3--19 1. Is he in acidosis or alkalosis? 2. Is the cause respiratory or metabolic? 3. Is this uncompensated, partially compensated or fully compensated?
Metabolic alkalosis refers to a process whereupon decreased hydrogen ion, or increased bicarbonate, concentrations occur in the body, and the blood pH becomes too basic. Answer the following questions: How does the body regain its acid-base equilibria/balance? What happens when that balance does not happen? Will a buffer system still work under these conditions?
Identify the most powerful buffer system in the body, provide the equation to show how this buffer is reversible.
