Chpt 9 Assessment of Respiratory Disorders

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Glycolysis will   falsely decrease the pH and PO2 and increase PCO2  
🗑
Blood Gas Machines typically require QC to be performed   every 8 hours  
🗑
Blood Gas Machines typically Measure   pH, PCO2, PO2, OSAT, CO, MET  
🗑
Blood Gas Machines typically Calculate   TCO2/ HCO3, Base Excess  
🗑
Patients body temp can affect results and should be collected to make corrections   for PCO2 and PO2  
🗑
Fever or lowering body temp for surgery can greatly affect the results of   the blood gas  
🗑
Arteries typically used for arterial collection:   Radial, Brachial, Femoral  
🗑
Acid base status is determined by comparing the pH of the sample to the reference range. If pH of sample is below the reference range then the patient is   acidotic  
🗑
Common causes of metabolic acidosis include:   diseases such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), uremia, renal tubular acidosis, lactic acidosis, and the GI loss of bicarbonate, fluid, and potassium  
🗑
Another example of metabolic acidosis arises from hypotension secondary to dehydration, which leads to   poor tissue perfusion, lactic acid formation, and fluid and electrolyte imbalance  
🗑
Metabolic alkalosis may stem from   vomiting or gastric suctioning, low potassium or chloride levels, and liver cirrhosis with ascites, corticoid excess, and massive blood transfusion  
🗑
Respiratory Acidosis can result from disease of the respiratory system that cause CO2 retention :   Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Blue Bloaters  
🗑
Respiratory Alkalosis can result from respiratory or systemic diseases that cause   hyperventilation and CO2 deficit  
🗑
The following five factors must be considered to interpret acid-base balance:   pH, HCO3,Pco2,anion gap and assessment for compensation  
🗑
There is a direct relationship between HCO3 and pH based on which equation   Henderson-Hasselbalch equation  
🗑
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation   CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = H+ Hco3-  
🗑
If both pH and HCO3 are decreased this is   Metabolic Acidosis  
🗑
If both pH and HCO3 are increased this is   Metabolic alkalosis  
🗑
There is an INVERSE relationship between   pH and Pco2  
🗑
If HCO3 is within the reference range and Pco2 is elevated and the patient is acidotic the condition   is respiratory acidosis  
🗑
If HCO3 is within the reference range and Pco2 is decreased but the patient is alkalotic   then the condition is respiratory alkalosis  
🗑
in metabolic or mixed acidosis   the anion gap is significantly elevated  
🗑
the pH, HCO3, and Pco2 are considered together to determine if   compensation is occurring  
🗑
Ventilation is inversely proportional to   Pco2  
🗑
The respiratory system responds rapidly to a change in CSF pH, more so than   blood pH  
🗑
Po2 is the partial pressure of oxygen which is dissolved in the plasma as well as the   oxygen saturation So2  
🗑
Hypoxia, decreased supply of oxygen to tissues is determined based upon   Arterial Po2  
🗑
The hemoglobin molecule can retain or release oxygen at different rates depending upon certain conditions such as   pH,Pco2, temperature, or 2,3-DPG levels  
🗑
In general as pH decreases or as Pco2, temperature, and/or 2,3 DPG increase, the oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the   right, indicating that hemoglobin molecule has a lower affinity to oxygen  
🗑
Two specific diseases fall within the COPD category they are   emphysema, an chronic bronchitis  
🗑
When CO2 is retained it initiates   renal compensation, the kidneys retain HCO3 in an effort to return the pH to normal. This leads to increased levels of HCO3 and Pco2 in the body.  
🗑
At the other end of the COPD spectrum are the “blue bloaters” they are   overweight, edematous and cyanotic  
🗑
If the kidneys are unable to retain additional HCO3 to combat the rising pH due to CO2 retention then pH remains acidotic.   This is described as as acute-on-chronic CO2 retention and is associated with ARDS  
🗑
Infants born before 37 weeks or weighing less than 2500g frequently experience respiratory distress from a lack of   lung maturity  
🗑
Oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb)can be measured using a   co-oximeter, a dedicated spectrophotometer  
🗑
Total Hemoglobin is a product of adding   Oxyhemoglobin to Deoxyhemoglobin  
🗑
Percent saturation =   [O2Hb/(O2Hb+HHb)] X 100%  
🗑
Transcutaneous monitoring of oxygen saturation can NOT measure dysfunctional forms of hemoglobin such as   Carboxyhemoglobin, and Methemoglobin  
🗑
These must be ruled out with an arterial puncture and direct measurement of   Oxyhemoglobin  
🗑
CO is   the most commonly encountered toxic gas  
🗑


   

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.
