Lecture 1 • Mark Klimek • 92:21



Acid/Base Balance (Start times: 30:00)




The first value to look at in an acid-
base
disorder is the pH
•HCO3 22 to 26
•If pH is <7.35, the acid-base imbalance
•If pH is <7.45, the acid-base imbalance
is acidotic
Now,is to
alkalotic
determine if the imbalance is metabolic or respiratory, determine whether HCO3
goes in the same or opposite direction with pH
•Rule of the Bs: If pH and Bicarb move both in the same direction, then the acid-
base imbalance is metabolic … Otherwise, it is respiratory

Example #1
•pH 7.3 Acidotic
•HCO3 20 Metabolic
•This is an example of metabolic acidosis

Example #2
•pH 7.58 Alkalotic
•HCO3 32 Metabolic
•This is an example of metabolic alkalosis

Example #3
In•pH

•This is an

is low, everything is low, except potassium
to 7.45
•If
