Acid Base balance
A 62-year-old woman has been hospitalized in the ICU for several weeks. Her hospital
stay has been complicated by aspiration pneumonia and sepsis, requiring
prolonged courses of antibiotics.
For the past few days, she has been having high temperatures again, and her stool
output has increased dramatically
. Her most recent stool samples have tested positive for Clostridium difficile toxin,
laboratory tests
serum Na 138 mEq/L, K 3.5 mEq/L, Cl 115 mEq/L, albumin 4.4 g/dL, pH 7.32, Paco2 30
mm Hg, and HCO3 − 15 mEq/L.
Which one of the following acid-base disturbances is consistent with this patient’s
ABG?
A. AG metabolic acidosis.
B. Normal AG metabolic acidosis.
C. Saline-responsive metabolic alkalosis.
D. Acute respiratory acidosis.

………..(acidosis/Alkalosis)
• RR in respiratory alkalosis is …… ( increased /decreased )
• Metabolic acidosis Hco3- (increased/decreased)
• Respiratory acidosis Pco2 (increased/decreased)
Anion gab facts
• Anion gap is reflective of unmeasured acids. ( T/F)
True
• An increase in anion gap suggests an increase in the number of negatively
charged weak base in the plasma. ( T/F)
False /weak base
• Serum anion gap (SAG) can be used to elucidate cause of metabolic acidosis ( T/F)
true
• Anion gap may be elevated in conditions such as renal failure, lactic acidosis,
ketoacidosis, and salicylate, methanol, or ethylene glycol toxicity
True
How to calculate Anion gab
• Calculate the anion gap (AG) = [Na+] − [Cl− + HCO3−].
• Calculate anion gab for in the previous case
Normal AG = 140 − [105 + 24] = 6–12 mEq/L.
If AG is more than 12, there is a primary metabolic acidosis
regardless of pH or HCO3
−.
• Back to the first question

Interpreting ABGs
• Step 1 - check the pH?
• Step 2 - What is the CO2?
• Step 3 - Watch the bicarbonate?
• Step 4 - Look for compensation?
• Step 5 - What is the PaO2 and SaO2?
Respiratory Acidosis
• Carbonic acid excess
• Exhaling of CO2
inhibited
H2CO3
• Carbonic acid builds up
• pH falls below 7.35
• Cause = Hypoventilation (see chart)
Acid-Base Imbalances
• Normal

Signs and Symptoms of Respiratory
Acidosis
Breathlessness
Restlessness
Lethargy and disorientation
Tremors, convulsions, coma
Respiratory rate rapid, then gradually
depressed
• Skin warm and flushed due to vasodilation
caused by excess CO2
18
Treatment of Respiratory Acidosis
• Restore & improve alveolar ventilation
• IV lactate solution (converted to bicarbonate ions
in the liver).
• Treat underlying dysfunction or disease
e.g. pul odema, Res depression

Respiratory Alkalosis
• Carbonic acid deficit
• Increased exhaling
of CO2
• Carbonic acid decreases
H2CO3
• pH rises above 7.45
• Cause = hyperventilation (see chart)
Acid-Base Imbalances

Respiratory Alkalosis
• Conditions that stimulate respiratory center:
– Oxygen deficiency at high altitudes
– Pulmonary disease and Congestive heart failure –
caused by hypoxia
– Acute anxiety
– Fever, anemia
– Early salicylate intoxication
– Cirrhosis
– Gram-negative sepsis
23
Treatment of Respiratory Alkalosis
• Treat underlying cause
• Breathe into a paper bag
• IV Chloride containing solution (hydrochloric
acid, arginine chloride & ammonium
chloride), – Cl- ions replace lost bicarbonate
ions
24
Metabolic Acidosis
•
•
•
•
Base-bicarbonate deficit
Low pH (< 7.35)
Low plasma bicarbonate (base)
Cause = relative gain in H+
(lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis)
or actual loss of HCO3
(renal failure, diarrhea)
Acid-Base Imbalances
• Normal
1.2 mEq/L

Interpreting ABGs
Uncompensated

• The other component is normal
(The component not causing the acid-base
imbalance is still normal)

range
• The component that was normal is
changing in order to compensate

opposite directions
• One is acidotic the other alkaline
Interpreting ABGs
