    *is it low? EXAMPLES *pH = 7.36 *pH = 7.23 * pH = 7.47 *a high pH indicates alkalosis *a low pH indicates acidosis LOOK AT YOUR PaCO2 *is it normal? *Is it high? *is it low? *This is the respiratory component *An abnormality in the PaCO2 will indicate a respiratory problem 1 EXAMPLES *PaCO2 = 40 mm Hg *pAco2 = 23 mm Hg *a high PaCO2 indicates acidity *a low PaCO2 indicates alkalosis PaCO2 *Lungs will increase or decrease ventilation to remove the appropriate amount

    Differentiate Between Acidosis and Alkalosis Instructions 1. * 1 First differentiate between the respiratory and metabolic. The respiratory one has to do with breathing in and out (that is ventilation) while the metabolic has to do with processes inside the body. * 2 Know what each one is: Respiratory Respiratory acidosis happens when a person is hypoventilating. In this case their respiration is depressed and so they are retaining carbon dioxide leading to acidosis. This could be

    excess non-gas acids and bases Lungs eliminate carbon dioxide Excessive Acids and Bases can cause pH changes---denature proteins • Normal pH of body fluids is 7.40 • Alkalosis (alkalemia) – arterial blood pH rises above 7.45 • Acidosis (acidemia) – arterial pH drops below 7.35 • Acidosis: – too much acid – Too little base • Alkalosis – Too much base – Too little acid Compensation for deviation • Lungs (only if not a respiratory problem) – If too much acid (low pH)—respiratory system will ventilate

    Anatomy & Physiology II Respiratory acidosis is a condition that occurs when the lungs cannot remove all the carbon dioxide the body produces. This causes body fluids‚ especially the blood‚ to become too acidic. Chronic respiratory acidosis occurs over a long period of time‚ this leads to a stable situation‚ because the kidneys increase body chemicals‚ such as bicarbonate‚ that help restore the body’s acid-base balance. Acute respiratory acidosis is a condition in which carbon dioxide builds
