Acid-Base Balance — Flashcards

If the pH is reduced from 7.4 to 7.3 with the alveolar PO2 being constant at 100 mmHg, PCO2 would follow line _____.

At _____ urine pH, the HA form of a weak acid exists, thus decreasing excretion

The arterial blood profile seen in compensated metabolic acidosis is: pH: _____[HCO3-]: decreasedPCO2: decreased

The arterial blood profile seen in compensated respiratory alkalosis is: pH: _____[HCO3-]: decreasedPCO2: decreased

The primary disturbance in metabolic acidosis is a _____ in HCO3-

Renal correction of respiratory acidosis includes increased excretion of excess fixed H+ as _____ and NH4+

The _____ in red blood cells (from H2CO3) is buffered by deoxyhemoglobin

Decreased arterial pH (metabolic acidosis) causes compensatory _____-ventilation with consequent decreased PCO2

The arterial blood profile seen in compensated metabolic alkalosis is: pH: _____[HCO3-]: increasedPCO2: increased

Increased arterial pH (metabolic alkalosis) causes compensatory _____-ventilation with consequent increased PCO2
