    Ringer’s solution is used to induce urine output in patients with renal failure‚ and to supply water and electrolytes either with or without calories to the body. It is also used because the by-products of lactate metabolism in the liver counteract acidosis which is a chemical imbalance that occurs with acute fluid loss or renal failure. Lactated Ringer’s is used when intravascular volume is low or to maintain fluid volume during surgery or labor‚ dehydration‚ burns‚ gastrointestinal fluid loss‚ and

    bodies (from breakdown of fatty acids for energy) BUN: (increased) > 20mg/dL due to dehydration status Arterial PH: low due to current state of acidosis. Arterial PCO2 would be high. This would stimulate Kussmaul respirations to exhale accumulation of CO2. If this kind of breathing continues it can result in respiratory alkalosis (overcorrection). This situation is a medical emergency because these changes lead to imbalances in blood PH and electrolyte loss. If potassium levels rise

    which demonstrates hypoxemia and mild respiratory alkalosis. Discussion Questions 1. Considering T.V.’s history‚ what is the most likely cause of her respiratory distress? Why? a. The primary cause of the patient’s respiratory distress comes from hypoxemia. The hypoxemia is caused by heart failure possibly from emboli and obstructions in the circulatory system‚ which is causing the patient to breathe harder and faster to compensate. The mild respiratory alkalosis/hypoventilation is from the hypoxemia

    after high altitude training last for 9-20 days. Respirations are also affected with high altitudes. The athlete will experience problems breathing due to a lack of oxygen. Their respiratory rate will increase‚ a condition called hyperventilation which will cause respiratory alkalosis. Respiratory alkalosis can prevent the person from enhancing their breathing rate to the level needed for survival. Most of the time the body will compensate for the decrease in oxygen. With exercise‚ the
