1 Objectives Identify acid/base disorders 2. Discuss etiologies for 1 0 acid/base disorders (will not include mixed disorders) 3. Interpret acid/base disorders by interpreting arterial blood gas & serum chemistry values 4. Develop optimal pharmacotherapy plans for acid/base disorders Terms Acidemia ph < Alkalemia ph > Acidosis process causing acidemia 4. Alkalosis process of causing alkalemia 5. Compensation ph normalizes by alterations in a component NOT primarily affected - i.e. 1 0 metabolic disorder respiratory compensatory mechanism 6. Correction ph normalizes by altering the 1 0 component affected - i.e. respiratory = 1 0 cause of acidemia respiratory system Δ occurs ph allowing the respiratory system to correct itself. Arterial blood gas interpretation will be used to determine if compensation vs correction has occurred. Steps to Acid/Base Analysis Assess ABG: Acidemic: ph < 7.35 Alkalemic: ph >7.45 Normal: ph= Determine if disturbance is: Respiratory PC0 2 Metabolic HC If disturbance is respiratory if it s acute or chronic 4. If disturbance is metabolic if it s an anion gap or non-anion gap 5. If disturbance is metabolic if respiratory system is compensating adequately 6. If anion gap exists if other metabolic disturbances exist (mixed disorder) Normal Blood Gas Values (ABGs used most often for Acid/Base Disorders) 5, 6 Generally, arterial blood gases most often assessed for acid-base decisions Mixed venous blood gases assess amount 0 2 utilization by the body ABG nomenclature ph/pac0 2/Pa0 2/HC0 3 if obtained on the blood gas Ventilator parameters important if pt. ventilated 1.

There is a delay least 12 hrs. for HC0 3 to Δ. Metabolic compensation occurs in the respiratory system. Response is quick w/i few hrs. The brain recognizes problem.

Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis - 9 Non-Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis - 10 In unmeasurable anions (MUD PILES) No in unmeasurable anions (HARD UP) Methyl alcohol Hyper alimentation (not enough HC02 provided) Uremia Acetazolamide Diabetic, alcoholic, starvation ketoacidosis Renal tubular acidosis, renal insufficiency Paraldehyde RTA 1 hypokalemia, urine ph > 5.5* Isoniazid, iron RTA 4 hyperkalemia, urine ph < 5.5 Lactic acidosis Diarrhea, diuretics (drives unmeasurable anion component) Ethyl alcohol Ureteroenterostomy Salicylates Pancreatic fluids * Pt. unable to acidify urine. Metabolic Acidemia S/S - 11 Severe Symptoms 1. Kussmaul hyperventilation (deep, rapid resp. rate); 2. Atrial tachycardia; 3. V-Fib; 4. atrial vasodilation & hypotension; 5. Hyperkalemia; 6.

Only in acidemia is there an anion to measure. 1. Acidemia or alkalemia? 2. Primary disorder: respiratory or metabolic? 3. Anion gap or non-anion gap? (if metabolic) Anion Gap Determines if problem is from accumulation of H+ or loss of HC0 3- Calculating Anion Gap: Anion Gap = Na+ - (Cl- + HC0 3-) Normal Anion Gap 9-11 Metabolic Acidosis Assessment: Compensation - 15 Equation: PaC0 2 = [(1.5 x HC0 3) + 8] +/- 2 OR HC0 3 1 meq/l PaC mmhg Example: If compensation has occurred, what is the expected PaCO 2 if serum HCO 3 = 12? (1.5)(12) + 8 = PaCO 2 = 26 mmhg HC0 3 by 10-14; PaC or Therefore: = 26. Pt has compensated. Metabolic Acidosis: Treatment Goals Restore hemodynamic stability via ph 2. Normalize acid-base 3.
