PaC02 - carbon dioxide
Normal Blood pH - 7.35-7.45
Normal blood PaCO2 - 35-45
Blood PaCO2 is controlled by - lungs
* we breathe out carbon dioxide
Amount of blood PaCO2 is directly proportional to the number of ____ ions - Hydrogen (H+)
The more carbon dioxide PaCo2 you have in your blood, the more ____ it is
Acidic or basic? - acidic
If PaCO2 is >45 then blood is more ____
Acidic or basic? - acidic
If PaCO2 is less than 35, then blood is more _____
Acidic or basic? - basic
HCO3 - bicarbonate
,Normal value for HCO3 - 22-26
Bicarbonate is controlled by what? - kidneys
what two structures in the body work in harmony to maintain a pH of 7.35-7.45? - kidneys
lungs
Bicarbonate is acidic or basic? - basic
if bicarbonate (HCO3) Is more than 26, your blood tends to be on the ____ side? - basic
if bicarbonate (HCO3) is less than 22 then your blood is on the ____ side - acidic
PaO2 - oxygen
Pa02 is regulated by - lungs
Normal value for Pao2 - 80-100
to determine respiratory or metabolic acidosis/alkalosis what ABG values do you look at? -
pH
PaC02
HC03
how to determine if it is acidosis or alkalosis - look at pH
, how to determine if it is respiratory or metabolic ? - look at C02/HC03
if pH is less than 7.35 - acidosis
if pH is greater than 7.45 - alkalosis
if PaC02 level is abnormal and HC03 is normal, the condition is: - respiratory
if PaC02 is normal while HC03 is abnormal: the condition is - metabolic
if pH is normal and both Pac02 and HC03 are abnormal then what? - compensated
when there is a metabolic problem what will compensate? - respiratory system (co2)
partial or full compensation for ABG - only full if the pH is normal
SA node is found where? - R atrium
AV node is found where? - border of RA and RV
Conduction of the heart - SA node
AV node
bundle of His right and left bundle branches Purkinje fibers
Rate of SA node - 60-100
Rate of AV node - 40-60 bpm
