Acid-base disorders Hydrogen Ion Concentration H+ H+ Alkalosis Acidosis
Compensatory Mechanisms H+ should be normal for normal cellular function. The body will try to restore the H+ to normal
Compensatory Mechanisms • Kidney • Lung • Body Buffers • CO2-HCO3 System • Hydroxyapatite-Bone • Haemoglobin
Body Buffers • Kidney CO2-bicarbonate system H+ + HCO3 H2CO3 H2O + CO2 • Lung
pH and H+ concentration • The blood pH represents the H+ concentration • pH = - log10aH+ • aH+ = 10 (-pH) ) • where aH+ is activity of H+ Alkalosis Acidosis
Acid-base disorders Hydrogen Ion Concentration H+ H+ pH pH Alkalosis Acidosis
Acid base disturbances Arterial blood sample Normal values • A 2 ml syringe • Heparinized • Radial/ femoral artery • Draw 1 ml of blood • Send for analysis immediately or send in an ice pack Heparinized syringe Radial artery

ACID PaCO2 ALKALI HCO3 Metabolic acidosis a pH< 7.36 characterized by low plasma HCO3-. PaCO2 will secondary to hyperventilation . HCO3 Definition: H+ + HCO3 H2CO3 H2O + CO2
Mechanisms of Excess H+ in metabolic acidosis • H+ +HCO3 HCO3 • Loss of HCO3 more production of H+ • Kidney • GIT • Small intestine • Pancreas H++ HCO3 H2CO3 H2O + CO2 H++ HCO3 H2CO3 H2O + CO2
ANION GAP Unmeasured Anions: albumin, phosphate, sulphate, lactate, ketoacids, others. Unmeasured Cations: calcium, Mg, globulins, K. + - Anion Gap HCO3_ Na+ Cl- “Anion gap represents the difference between readily measured anions and cations” Anion gap = Plasma Na+ - (Cl- + HCO3-) N= 8 – 14 mmol\l

Metabolic acidosis Clinical Features:
Metabolic acidosis Investigations:
Arterial blood gas findings Metabolic acidosis Compensated
ACID PaCO2 ALKALI HCO3 RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS Definition: a pH < 7.36 due to retention of CO2 as a result of alveolar ventilation CO2 H+ + HCO3 H2CO3 H2O + CO2
Respiratory Physiology RC Air RN Br Lu Pl S Inspiration ACTIVE Expiration PASSIVE Ribs Ms
Respiratory acidosis Clinical Features:
Respiratory acidosis Investigations:
Arterial blood gas findings respiratory acidosis Compensated
ACID PaCO2 ALKALI HCO3 METABOLIC ALKALOSIS Definition: a pH > 7.44 characterized by high plasma HCO3 PaCO2 may . In normal renal function it is rare, why? HCO3 H+ + HCO3 H2CO3 H2O + CO2
Metabolic Alkalosis Clinical Features:
Metabolic Alkalosis Investigations:
Arterial blood gas findings Metabolic Alkalosis Compensated
ACID PaCO2 ALKALI HCO3 RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS Definition: pH>7.44 due to CO2 washout as a result of hyperventilation CO2 H+ + HCO3 H2CO3 H2O + CO2
Aetiology • Hypoxia • Voluntary • CNS Disease • CVA • Infections • Trauma • Tumours • Drugs Aspirin • Hepatic Failure • Gram Negative Septicaemia • Heat Exposure • Mechanical overventilation
Respiratory Alkalosis Clinical Features:
