what is treatment for burn pt. with metabolic acidosis?
| | | | | | | |




respiratory acidosis? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-metabolic- correct fluids; in some
| | | | | | | | |


cases, give bicarbonate
| |




respiratory- O2- high flow, non rebreather- we DO NOT use bicarb to correct
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


respiratory


________ acidosis can occur with inhalation burns and the extreme version of
| | | | | | | | | | | |


ARDS
is it more or less life threatening than MA? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-respiratory
| | | | | | | | | | | |


acidosis- primarily occurs with inhalation burns
| | | | |




more life threatening than MA
| | | |




cellular hypoxia also causes a loss of _______, which worsens acidosis
| | | | | | | | | |




_______ acidosis can also occur with sepsis, a common complication of burns due
| | | | | | | | | | | |


to the lactic acidosis occurring
| | | | |




are adults or children more susceptible to MA? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | |


bicarbonate
metabolic acidosis |




children are more susceptible to MA
| | | | |




T/F both, metabolic and respiratory acidosis can occur with burns
| | | | | | | | |




_______ acidosis in burns results from too much acid and not enough base
| | | | | | | | | | | |

,what stage of burns does metabolic acidosis most likely occur?
| | | | | | | | |




what can also cause MA? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-TRUE
| | | | | | |




TRUE
most likely occurs during the emergent stage, when fluid shifts occur causing
| | | | | | | | | | | |


hyperkalemia and hypovolemia | |




can also be caused by cellular hypoxia- part of cellular hypoxia is due to
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


hypovolemia, also kidney and liver damage- kidney damage causes
| | | | | | | | |


hyperchloremic acidosis, or low bicarb acidosis | | | | |




what is COHb used for? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-used to detect carbon monoxide
| | | | | | | | | | |


poisoning. the test measures a combo of carbon monoxide and Hg. high= BAD;
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |

anion gap can help show causes of metabolic acidosis. when bicarb dec. anion
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


gap inc. With kidney causes, higher anion gap is expected. you have a dec. anion
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


gap with hypoproteinemia
| |

,what are the normal ABG values...
| | | | |




pH=?
pCO2=?
CO2=?
HCO3=?
SaO2=?
Anion Gap=? |




COHb=? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-pH= 7.35-7.45
| | | |




pCO2= 35-45 |




CO2= 20-30
|




HCO3= 22-28 |




SaO2= 95-100 |




Anion Gap= 12-16
| |




COHb= <3% for non smoker; <12% for smoker
| | | | | | |
