Respiratory Alkalosis, Decreased Lung Compliance, Hypoxemia
Question:
What are the S&S of tension pneumothorax?
Answer:

Answer:
Wheezing, SOB, Bronchoconstriction, Dyspnea, Tachypnea (rapid breathing)
,Question:
How do you interpret ABG's?
Answer:
1. Look at pH (acidosis-low or alkalosis-high)
Question:
Check the CO2 (resp. indicator)
Answer:
less than 35 (alkalosis) more than 45 (acidosis)
Question:
Check the HCO3 (metabolic indicator)
Answer:
less than 22 (acidosis) more than 26 (alkalosis)
Question:
Determine primary disorder (matches the pH)
Question:
Determine if its compensated (pH returns to normal or near normal)
Question:
Respiratory Acidosis: What happens to the pH/CO2?
Answer:
Elevation (increase) of pCO2 -- Decreased pH (acidosis)
Question:
Respiratory Alkalosis: What happens to the pH/CO2?
Answer:
Depression (decrease) of pCO2 -- Increased pH (alkalosis)
, Question:
Metabolic Acidosis: What happens to the pH/HCO3?
Answer:
Depression (decrease) of HCO3 -- Decreased pH (acidosis)
Question:
Metabolic Alkalosis: What happens to the pH/HCO3?
Answer:
Elevation (increase) of HCO3 -- Increased pH (alkalosis)
Question:
What are signs of renal cancer?
Answer:
No pain! Hematuria (Blood in the Urine)
Question:

Answer:
Dialysis, Fluid Restriction, Low Protein Diet, Decrease Medication Doses,
Anti-hypertensive, Give Ca Supplements, Give Erythropoietin Shot, Give Iron
Supplements/Blood Transfusion (anemic)
