Uncompensated [ANS:] pH and one other value is abnormal
Partial compensation [ANS:] pH, CO2, and HCO3 are all off
Full compensation [ANS:] pH is normal

Acidosis [ANS:] reduces the excitability of cardiovascular muscle,
neurons, skeletal muscle, and smooth muscle.
Guru01 - Stuvia
Alkalosis [ANS:] increases the sensitivity of excitable tissues allowing
them to OVERRESPOND without stimulation
ABG considerations [ANS:] - Assess cardiovascular w/ acidosis
(cardiac arrest from hyperkalemia)
- Assess neuro status
- Fall precautions
Bicarb HC03 [ANS:] kidney compensation (slow and powerful)
Respiratory PaC02 [ANS:] Respiratory compensation (fast but
limited)
Metabolic acidosis causes [ANS:] DKA, Starvation, diarrhea, kidney
failure, dehydration, liver failure, pancreatitis, heavy exercise,
seizure activity, fever, hypoxia, ischemia, ethanol/methanol
intoxication

Metabolic acidosis signs and symptoms [ANS:] bradycardia,
hypotension, thready pulse, CNS depression, hyporeflexia, kussmal
resp (with resp compensation), warm, flushed, dry skin.
Metabolic acidosis treatment [ANS:] hydration and medication to
treat underlying problems (DKA - give insulin).
Metabolic alkalosis causes [ANS:] antacids, blood transfusion,
sodium bicarbonate, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), prolonged
vomiting, nasogastric suctioning, hypercortisolism,
hyperaldosteronism, Loop/Thiazide diuretics.

Metabolic Alkalosis s/s [ANS:] anxiety, irritability, tetany, seizures,
POSITIVE CHVOSTEK, POSITIVE TROUSSEAU, parathesis,
hyperreflexia, muscle cramping/twitching, skeletal muscle
Guru01 - Stuvia
weakness, Tachycardia, norm/low BP, increased Digoxin toxicity,
decreased respiratory effort (muscle weakness).
metabolic alkalosis treatment [ANS:] restore fluid/electrolyte
imbalances
Respiratory acidosis cause [ANS:] Opioids, anesthetics, electrolyte
imbalance, inadequate chest expansion, muscle weakness,
airway obstruction, alveolar-capillary block.
Respiratory acidosis s/s [ANS:] bradycardia, hypotension, thready
pulse, CNS depression, hyporeflexia, ineffective respirations, pale-
to-cyanotic dry skin.
Respiratory acidosis treatment [ANS:] (Assess airway) Improve gas
exchange, drug therapy (bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory),
oxygen therapy (lowest flow possible), ventilation.
