Concept explainers
(a)
To write:
About the Primary disturbances and degree of compensations for first arterial blood gas reading.
Introduction:
Primary disturbances refer to the immediate effect on the blood ph levels or the blood partial pressure of the respiratory gases. This is associated with acid-base disturbances. An arterial blood gas test is required to assess the blood levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
(b)
To write:
About the Primary disturbances and degree of compensations for second arterial blood gas reading.
Introduction:
Primary disturbances refer to the immediate effect on the blood ph levels or the blood partial pressure of the respiratory gases. This is associated with acid-base disturbances. An arterial blood gas test is required to assess the blood levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
(c)

- Table 1: Arterial blood gas concentration in patient Two hours after aspirin ingestion Ten hours after aspirin ingestion Normal values Partial Pressure CO2 26 mm Hg 19 mm Hg 35-45 mm Hg Partial Pressure O2 113 mm Hg 143 mm Hg 75-100 mm Hg Bicarbonate [HCO;] 18 mM 21 mM 22-26 mM pH 7.44 7.55 7.35-7.45 Blood salicylate concentration, mg/dL 57 117arrow_forwardA patient has severe uncompensated respiratory acidosis. Temperature is normal and hemoglobin concentration is within the reference range. Which of the following oxygen dissociation curves best describes the relationship between oxygen content and PO2 (the solid curve is normal) in this patient?arrow_forwardA common laboratory test for a patient is to measure blood gases—that is, the partial pressures of O 2 and CO 2 in oxygenated blood. Normal values are 100 mm Hg for O 2and 40 mm Hg for CO 2. A high or low level of one or both readings has some underlying cause. Offer an explanation for each of the following situations. a. If a patient comes in agitated and hyperventilating—breathing very rapidly—the partial pressure of O 2 is normal but the partial pressure of CO 2 is 22 mm Hg. b. A patient with chronic lung disease has a partial pressure of O 2 of 60 mm Hg and a partial pressure of CO 2of 60 mm Hg.arrow_forward
- Compare the results for blood oxygen concentration to the results for heart rate and breathing rate. Explain how the observed changes of each parameter are interrelated.arrow_forwardAn IV infusion is to contain 40 mEq of potassium ion and 10 mEq of sodium ion in 500 mL of D5W.Using a 20% w/v potassium chloride injection (MW 74.5, valence of 1) and 0.45% sodium chlorideinjection (MW 58.5, valence of 1), how many milliliters of each should be added to the 500mL bag ofD5W to supply the required ions?arrow_forward1) Identify the lab value of Yusef's bicarbonate ion level in mEq/Liters. Only type in numbers, no letters (type out your number to zero places after the decimal point. i.e 8 or 18) pH = 7.68 PaCO2 = 21 mmHg 2) His condition is : 3 answers required: respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis uncompensated or partial compensation Group of answer choices respiratory metabolic acidosis alkalosis uncompensated partial compensationarrow_forward

Drop factor: 60 gtts/mL Warrow_forwardCalculate the fractional saturation for hemoglobin when the partial pressure of oxygen is 80 mm Hg. Assume hemoglobin is 50% saturated with oxygen at a partial pressure of 24 mm Hg and that the Hill coefficient is 3.arrow_forward
- Using the following equalities and the relationships between atm and torr or mmHg you are required to know, convert 536 mmHg to Pa. Report your answer with the correct number of significant figures. Do not use scientific notation. 1.00 atm (exact) = 29.92 inHg = 101325 Pa = 101.325 kPa = 14.7 psi Paarrow_forwardDetermine the type of acid-base imbalance and the corresponding compensation according to the following results from the arterial-blood-gas test. Blood pH: 7.25PCO2: 35 mmHgBicarbonate concentration: 18 mmol/L (b) Give one possible medical condition that leads to the acid-base imbalance in (a).arrow_forwardA 26 year old female with hypokalaemia is prescribed an intravenous infusion of 0.15% potassium chloride (KCl) to correct this imbalance. She is to receive 50 mL 0.15% KCl over 6 hours. (0.15% KCl contains 20 mmol KCl per litre) How much potassium (in mmol/hour) is the patient receiving? units -mmol/hrarrow_forward
