This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: F&E-acid base balance, kidneys delayed (hours or days), but most powerful alkalosis too much bicarbonate (HCO3) Excrete bicarbonate ions in the urine Use ammonia mechanism, ACID-BASE balance ABG values PaO² 80-100, ACID-BASE balance ABG values Base Excess ± 2, If pH and CO2 are opposite respiratory pH is UP, Carbon dioxide DOWN- Respiratory alkalosis, ACID-BASE balance Interpreting ABG's ROME, Acids volatile carbonic acid, excreted as a gas (lungs), If pH and HCO3 go same direction, metabolic pH is up and hco3 is up- metabolic alkalosis, kidneys delayed (hours or days), but most powerful acidosis- too much H Reabsorb bicarbonate ions back into blood instead of excreting them into the urine, If pH and CO2 are opposite respiratory pH is DOWN, co2 is UP- respiratory acidosis, Bases sources Bicarbonate (HCO3) – ECF & ICF Proteins Hemoglobin - ICF albumin and globulin - ECF Ammonium - breakdown of amino acids, ACID-BASE balance ABG values PaCO² 35-45 mmHg, ROME ME If pH and HCO3 go same direction, metabolic, ACID-BASE balance pH Acids, ACID-BASE balance pH Bases, ACID-BASE balance buffers chemical acts within seconds, ROME RO If pH and CO2 are opposite respiratory, ACID-BASE balance buffers lungs- acts within minutes- hypo or hyperventilation, ACID-BASE balance ABG values pH 7.35 – 7.45, Acids nonvolatile phosphoric, lactic, sulfuric Excreted from the body in water (kidney), If pH and HCO3 go same direction, metabolic pH is down, and hco3 is down, metabolic acidosis
