Metabolic Acidosis and Alkalosis — Flashcards

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

Winters formula for simple metabolic acidosis states that:_____ = 1.5[HCO3-] + 8 +/- 2

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

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

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
