recessive fashion. The major categories are: Organic acidemias (e.g.‚ methylmalonic or propionic acidemia‚ multiple carboxylase deficiency) are caused by abnormal metabolism of proteins‚ fats or carbohydrates and are characterized by marked metabolic acidosis with ketosis‚ often with elevated lactate and mild to moderate hyperammonemia. Common signs include vomiting‚ signs of encephalopathy‚ neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Fatty acid oxidation defects (e.g.‚ short‚ medium‚ and long- chain acyl-CoA

Arterial Blood Gas Values: 1. Respiratory acidosis 2. Metabolic alkalosis 3. Normal 4. Respiratory alkalosis Case Study: 1. When listening to the patient I would expect to hear crackles and wheezing. 2. Normal oxygen saturation is 95% to 100%. 3.Since the patient does have a history of diabetes and asthma‚ he has a higher risk of contracting viruses due to the fact that diabetes lowers your immune response‚ and asthma causes your airway to become more sensitive.

If the airway wasn’t working how it should‚ the patient would be in respiratory alkalosis if the machine was breathing for them too fast or they would be in respiratory acidosis if the airway was not placed correctly and getting rid of their

Potassium is one of the body’s major ions. Nearly 98% of the body’s potassium is intracellular. The ratio of intracellular to extracellular potassium is important in determining the cellular membrane potential. Small changes in the extracellular potassium level can have profound effects on the function of the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems. The kidney determines potassium homeostasis‚ and excess potassium is excreted in the urine. The reference range for serum potassium level is 3
