If yes, state the type of 35 30 compensation. d) Specifically, how is the patient compensating? 25 220 PCO2 1) arterial pH 7.45 arterial pCO2 45 mmHg arterial HCO3-30 mEq/L 15 :O 10 L 7.0 7.1 7.2.374 7.5 7677
Explanation / Answer
1) since pH and pCO2 is normal,and raised bicarbonate is there the condition is metabolic alkalosis.
2) cause- severe vomiting and dehydration,low chloride intake,intake of alkaline drugs and diuretics etc.
3)yes there is compensation.Hypoventilation
4)hypoventilation which causes less CO2 to enter and thus converts it into carbonic acid intermediate which decreases the pH along with rise in arterial carbondioxide tension.
