increased H+ excretion & increased HCO3- reabsorption
How does our body compensate during Respiratory acidosis?
treat hyperkalemia, antibiotics, airway clearance (drain lungs), remove foreign body obstruction
Treatments for respiratory acidosis?
lactate solution; our body used bicarbonate to compensate for the acidosis so we need to replenish what was lost
What do we give to restore metabolic balance? why?
hypoventilation; CO2
Respiratory Acidosis is a result of ________ which is a build up of ________.
hyperventilation; HCO3
Respiratory Alkalosis is a result of ________ which is a build up of ________.
kidneys will conserve H+ ions and eliminate HCO3- in urine
How does our body compensate during Respiratory Alkalosis?
oxygen therapy, sedative/anti-anxiety agent, paper bag breathing
What are some treatments for Respiratory Alkalosis?
Chloride solutions
How do we restore metabolic balance in Respiratory Alkalosis?
hyperactive breathing to blow off CO2; kidneys conserve HCO3 and eliminate H+ ions in urine
How does our body compensate for Metabolic Acidosis?
IV bicarb; lactate solution
How do we treat Metabolic Acidosis?
hypokalemia from diuretic use
What are causes of Metabolic Alkalosis?
breathing suppressed to hold CO2; kidneys conserve H+ and excrete HCO3-
How does the body compensate for Metabolic Alkalosis?
IV ammonium chloride; discontinue thiazide diuretics
How do we treat Metabolic Alkalosis?
crystalloids
-volume expanders
colloids
-plasma expander (draw fluid into the bloodstream)
