Solutions
ABG's Atrial Blood Gas levels indicate acidosis or alkalosis
Compensated by Chemical buffers, Respiratory or Metabolic systems
Compensated ABG is when the pH is normal and the blood gas is abnormal
Uncompensated ABG When the pH is abnormal and one of the blood gas is abnormal
Partially Compensated ABG When the pH and all of the blood gas is abnormal
Acute Inflammation Begins before the immune response becomes established and aims
primarily at removing the injury causing agent and limiting the extent of tissue damage. Acute
inflammation is limited and usually resolves with little or no treatment.
Vascular Phase SHARP
Chemical Mediators
, SLCC Pathophysiology Exam 1 GUIDE
FROM CATT86 Questions With Complete
Solutions
SHARP Swelling
Heat
Altered Function
Redness
Pain
Chemical Mediators Causing vasodilation
Causing capillary permeability
Causing blood flow to slow down so clotting can begin
Chemical mediators signal WBCs to congregate in the area of damage
Cellular Phase Leukocytes (primarily neutrophils - "first responders") are delivered to the
site of infection/injury and EMIGRATE through the blood vessel wall into the tissue
WBCs move through the tissue by CHEMOTAXIS ("chemical taxi's") or moving along a
chemical gradient
