Metabolic alkalosis refers to a process whereupon decreased hydrogen ion, or increased bicarbonate, concentrations occur in the body, and the blood pH becomes too basic.
Answer the following questions:
How does the body regain its acid-base equilibria/balance?
What happens when that balance does not happen?
Will a buffer system still work under these conditions?
Identify the most powerful buffer system in the body, provide the equation to show how this buffer is reversible.
The following data was obtained from an arterial blood sample drawn from a hospital patient.
pH= 7.55 (7.35-7.45)
PaCO2=25mmHg (33-45mmHg)
HCO3-= 22.5mEq/L (22-28mEq/L
The patient’s arterial findings are consistent with a diagnosis of which of the following?
metabolic acidosis
respiratory alkalosis
metabolic alkalosis
mixed acidosis
respiratory acidosis
