What are the normal ranges for PH?
7.35-7.45
What are the normal values for PCO2?
35-45
What are the normal values for HCo3 levels?
22-28
Which temperature route is the LEAST accurate?
axillary
What are the common pulse sites?
radial , carotid , brachial , Ulnar, Apical, Femoral, Popliteal, Dorsalis
Pedis, and Tibialis
How is systolic pressure defined?
Systolic is the highest point of pressure induced by the contraction of the
left ventricle
How is diastolic pressured defined?
Diastolic is the lowest point of pressure during the relaxation of the
ventricles
What is pulse pressure?
difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
, How do you measure pulse pressure?
Subtract diastolic from systolic
EX: 140/70
140-70= 70
Normal pulse pressure should be?
Typically in the 40's
What does MAP stand for?
mean arterial pressure
How do you obtain a map pressure?
Diastolic x2 + systolic divided by 3
What are factors that influence blood pressure?
-Cardiac output
-Blood volume
-Peripheral resistance
-Viscosity
What are the s/s of metabolic acidosis?
Tachycardic, large urine output, hypotension, Kussmaul respiration,
lethargic, sleepy, vomiting, diarrhea, hyperkalemia
What are the s/s of respiratory acidosis? (4)
1. Headache
2. Confusion
3. sleepy (difficult to arouse)
4. hypoxia
5. Dyspnea
6.hypotension
7. Hyperkalemia
