🗑
show stage where fluid moves from one space to another  
🗑
show fluid in interstitial compartments  
🗑
show normal to high (hemoconcentration)  
🗑
FVD potassium   show
🗑
show high (hemoconcentration); in children may be low but not pathologic  
🗑
show normal to high (stress response, >120)  
🗑
FVD urine specific gravity   show
🗑
show >300, more particles ↑ number of particles, concentration  
🗑
FVE hemodynamic signs   show
🗑
show seen with FVE, Confusion, dizziness, convulsions, coma  
🗑
pulmonary edema   show
🗑
FVE general signs   show
🗑
FVE first sign seen   show
🗑
show sign of FVE but not seen in kids, make sure know baseline for adults  
🗑
show prevent cerebral edema  
🗑
show renal failure, heart failure, excess fluid intake (without electrolytes), high corticosteroids, high aldosterone, plain water enema, NG irrigations, excess hypotonic IV fluids, SIADH, inappropriately prepared formula (dilute formula)  
🗑
show excessive hypertonic fluids, binge drinking contest, psych disorders, drowning in fresh water, inappropriate dialysis  
🗑
FVE, potassium   show
🗑
show very low, <125  
🗑
show low (hemodilution)  
🗑
FVE, urine spec gravity   show
🗑
show normal to high (stress response, >120)  
🗑
show lethargy, weakness  
🗑
show increased excitability  
🗑
acid   show
🗑
show binds to H+ ions in water  
🗑
buffers   show
🗑
carbonic acid   show
🗑
show bicarb: carbonic acid = 20:1  
🗑
show primary system, 50% of activity, to maintain balance l/t have to also use protein and phosphate buffer systems, 1-2 hours to kick in, bicarb is the major ECF buffer  
🗑
show hard for cells to grow  
🗑
>>> Respiratory buffer system, carbonic acid   show
🗑
show changes in depth/rate of resp alters it: hypoventilation retains CO2/carbonic acid and causes acidosis, hyperventilation loses CO2 and causes alkalosis  
🗑
show works w/in hours/days, more efficient than respiratory can go for longer periods of time  
🗑
show primary renal component, can be absobed as needed, combines HCl with ammonia to make ammonium, which is easily excreted by kidneys into urine  
🗑
compensation   show
🗑
primary metabolic disturbance   show
🗑
show causes an acute metabolic response  
🗑
complete compensation   show
🗑
partial compensation   show
🗑
show *negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration in mEq/L (as H+ ion concentration increases, pH decreases)*normal values 7.35 -7.45 (less is acidotic, more is alkalotic)  
🗑
show *normal 22-26 mEq/L (decreased in acidosis, increased in alkalosis)  
🗑
show indicates the amount of bicarb available in the ECF normal value: +/- 2 mEq/L  
🗑
serum anion gap   show
🗑
show the percent of Hb saturated with O2, a calculated value (indirect measurement), calculated with pH and PaO2 (combination of O2 sat, PaO2, and Hb), indicates tissue oxygenation  
🗑
show amount of oxygen available to bind with hemoglobin, amount of pressure exerted on O2 by plasma  
🗑
the lower the PaO2 pressure, the ....   show
🗑
show correlate with dramatic drops in oxygen saturation  
🗑
show 75-100 mmHg (for every year above 60 drop 1mmHg)  
🗑
show *partial pressure of CO2 | *reflects adequacy of alveolar ventilation, regulated by lungs, alterations indicate resp disturbance | *normal values 35-45 mmHg (less is alkalotic, more is acidotic)  
🗑
show correct cause, rebreathe CO2 as needed, alter ventilation rate, sedatives (for anxiety)

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
