Compensatory Mechanisms — Flashcards

The arterial blood profile seen in partially compensated respiratory acidosis is: pH: _____ [HCO3-]: increased PaCO2: increased

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

The primary disturbance in metabolic alkalosis is a(n) _____ in HCO3- OR a decrease in H+

The primary disturbance in respiratory alkalosis is _____-ventilation, which results in decreased CO2

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

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

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 respiratory alkalosis is: pH: _____[HCO3-]: decreasedPCO2: decreased
