Rule of the B's: If the ____ and the _____ are ______ in the same pH, Bicarb, Both, Bolic
direction then it is meta_____
pH 7.30_______ HCO3 20_______ ↓= acidosis; ↓= metabolic
pH 7.58_______ HCO3 32_______ ↑= alkalosis; ↑= metabolic
pH 7.22_______ HCO3 30_______ ↓= acidosis; ↑= respiratory
You are providing care to a client with the following ↓= acidosis; ↑= respiratory
blood gas results: pH 7.32, CO2 49, HCO3 29, PO2 80,
and SaO2 90%. Based on these results, the client is
experiencing:
MacKussmaul The only acid base to cause Kussmaul respirations is Metabolic ACidosis
As the _______ goes, so goes _______ except for _______ pH, my patient, Potassium
Up hyokalemia, alkalosis, HTN, Tachycardia, Tachypnea, Seizures, Irritability, Spastic,
Diarrhea, Borborygme, hyperreflexia, etc

flacid, bradypnea

_______?" If yes, then it's _______. Then ask yourself: "Are they underventilating, acidosis
_______ or _______. If _______, pick _______. If _______, pick _______
, Causes of acid-base imbalances: If it's not lung, then it's metabolic, prolonged gastric, alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, metabolic acidosis
