Therefore, hypokalemia • What is the nursing intervention? o Pt need suctioning because of seizures If pH goes below 7.35, this is acidosis • Therefore, everything is down: bradycardia, constipation, absent bowel sounds, flaccid, obtunded, lethargy, coma hyporeflexia (0, 1+), bradypnea, low BP • However, potassium is high (hyperkalemia) • What is the nursing intervention? o Pt needs to be ventilated with an Ambu bag—respiratory arrest So, remember that “MAC Kussmaul” is the only acid-base imbalance to cause Metabolic ACidosis with Kussmaul respirations Causes of Acid/Base imbalance First ask yourself, “Is it LUNG? … If yes, then it is respiratory • Then ask yourself, “Are they overventilating or underventilating? o If UNDERventilating, then pick acidosis—pH is under 7.35 o If OVERventilating, then it is alkalosis, pH is over 7.45 What type of acid-base derangement is present in the following condition? • In labor? o Respiratory alkalosis … Overventilating—pH increases … Alkalosis) • Drowning? o Respiratory acidosis … Underventilating—pH decreases … Acidosis • Pt is on PCA (patient-controlled anesthesia) pump? o Ventilation is down … Respiratory acidosis If it is not LUNG, then it is metabolic. If the patient has prolonged gastric vomiting or suction (sucking out acid), pick alkalosis • For everything else that isn’t lung, pick metabolic acidosis • So, when you don’t know what to pick, pick metabolic acidosis Tip • Set your default setting to Metabolic Acidosis • Always pay attention to modifying phrase rather than original noun Figure 1.
