respiratory acidosis - Answer✔️✔️-hypoventilation
accumulate CO2 by lungs due to hypoventilation
body compensates (kidney) by increasing renal excretion of H+ions with increased
HCO3 RECOVERY
respiratory alkalosis - Answer✔️✔️-hyperventilation
EXCESSIVE elimination of volatile acid CO2 by lungs
body compensates (kidney) by reduced renal excretion oh H+ions with reduced HCO3
recovery
metabolic acidosis - Answer✔️✔️-decreased pH (< 7.35) , and decreased HCO3 (<22).
PaCo2 is normal
accumulation of nonvolatile acid and Insufficient amount of HCO3 available
body compensates (lungs) by elimination of CO2 due to hyperventilation
metabolic alkalosis - Answer✔️✔️-increased pH (> 7.45) & increased HCO3 (> 26) ,
normal PaCO2 levels
loss of nonvolatile acid from lungs/blood to kidney and accumulation of HCO3
body compensates (lungs) by retaining CO2 due to hypoventilation
respiratory acidosis - Answer✔️✔️-decrease pH acidic increase PCO2
increase PCO2
respiratory alkalosis - Answer✔️✔️-increase pH basic decrease PCO2
