Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of severe diarrhea on the blood pH, urine pH and pattern of ventilation in Milly.
Introduction:
Diarrhea is an intestinal discomfort that shows abnormally frequent bowel movement and excretion of highly diluted fecal matter. Diarrhea can be infection which is caused by ingestion of diarrheal pathogen or non infectious.

- John Smith joined a Triathlon for a cause. The triathlon consisted of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run. He was so focused on winning the race. With 6 km left in the run, he felt very weak and light-headed and eventuallly collapsed. He was breathing so fast and was profusely sweating. The Emergency Medical Service on standby rushed to give him medical aid. a.) Discuss the role of electrolytes in this case. b.) What imbalances (Hypernatremia vs. Hyponatremia; Hyperkalemia vs. Hypokalemia) led to his condition? Justify.arrow_forwardA newborn exhibits signs of respiratory distress due to the lack of surfactant. She has signs of low oxygen and high carbon dioxide.

- A 76 year old woman with pneumonia has been admitted to the hospital. She is experiencing confusion and shortness of breath. Her ABG results are as follows: pH - 7.30 pCO2 - 52 HCO3--24.5 1. Is she in acidosis or alkalosis? 2. Is the cause respiratory or metabolic? 3. Is this uncompensated, partially compensated or fully compensated?arrow_forwardRespiratory alkalosis occurs when the lungs too efficiently get rid of the carbon dioxide present in the blood, for example at __________ and can be compensated for by the body producing urine with __________ pH. a) Hyperventialtion, lower b) Hyperventialtion, higher c) Hypoventialtion, higher d) Hypoventialtion, lowerarrow_forwardA 19 year old college student has been vomiting all night and has a tingling sensation in her face.

- given the pCO2 and pH of systemic arterial blood, be able to identify the type of acid-base imbalance (respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis). After identifying the type of acid-base imbalance, be able to determine what type of compensation will occur to restore pHarrow_forwardKirsten, a 3-month-old infant, has begun to have frequent loose stools that progress to a watery diarrhea. She is unresponsive, with dry mucous membranes, sunken fontanels, and little, if any, urine output. Respirations are rapid and the heart rate is elevated. Questions 1. What acid-base imbalance is Kirsten experiencing, and how is this affecting her ability to compensate? 2. What is the cause of oliguria, and how does this complicate the situation? 3. How will hydration affect Kirsten's ability to compensate for the acid-base imbalance?arrow_forwardAlkalosis can be corrected by which of the following processes? A. ) secretion of bicarbonate ions at the kidneys B. ) release of both ADH and aldosterone hormones C. ) secretion of hydronium ions into the distal tubule D. ) hyperventilated breathing techniques 2. ) The hormone ANP, released by the atrium, will raise blood pressure. True , false Hyperventilation normally has what effect on the bicarbonate buffer system? Group of answer choices A. increases the amount of free H+ ion b. does not normally affect blood pH c. increases the alkalinity of blood d. drives the system toward acidosisarrow_forward
