Acid-Base Balance :

Acid-Base Balance By Sr. Beverly Raway Fall 2001

Normal Acid-Base Balance :

Normal Acid-Base Balance Normal pH 7.35-7.45 Narrow normal range Compatible with life 6.8 - 8.0 ___/______/___/______/___ 6.8 7.35 7.45 8.0 Acid Alkaline

Maintenance of Balance :

Maintenance of Balance Balance maintained by: Buffering systems Lungs Kidneys H2CO3…..HCO3

Buffer Systems :

Buffer Systems Prevent major changes in pH Act as sponges… 3 main systems Bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer Phosphate buffer Protein buffer H+ H+ H+

Buffer Systems :

Buffer Systems Bicarbonate buffer - most important Active in ECF and ICF Phosphate buffer Active in intracelluar (ICF) fluid Protein buffer - Largest buffer store Albumins and globulins (ECF) Hemoglobin (ICF)

Bicarbonate-Carbonic Acid :

Bicarbonate-Carbonic Acid Body’s major buffer Carbonic acid - H2CO3 (Acid) Bicarbonate - HCO3 (Base) 1 20 pH = 7.4 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 24 mEq/L 1.2 mEq/L

Bicarbonate-Carbonic Acid :

Bicarbonate-Carbonic Acid Ratio important Not absolute values Person with COPD (CAL) 1 20 7.4 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 48 mEq/L 2.4 mEq/L

Regulation :

Regulation Key concept Carbonic anhydrase equation CO2 +H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3 Carbon Carbonic Bicarbonate Dioxide Acid (ACID) (BASE)

Slide 9:

Acid Substance that contains H+ ions that can be released (H2CO3) Carbonic acid releases H+ ions Base Substance that can accept H+ ions (HCO3) Bicarbonate accepts H+ ions

Slide 10:

As CO2 increases, carbonic acid increases, H+ ions increase pH drops….. becomes more acidic CO2 +H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3 Carbonic Bicarbonate Acid CO2 H2CO3 H+ HCO3 (pH Acidic <7.35)

Slide 11:

As HCO3 increases, H+ decreases pH rises, becomes more alkaline CO2 +H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3 Carbonic Bicarbonate Acid CO2 H2CO3 H+ HCO3 (pH Basic >7.45)

Respiratory & Renal Regulation :

Respiratory & Renal Regulation Lungs control CO2 Kidneys control HCO3 pH = kidneys (bicarbonate) lungs (carbon dioxide)

Respiratory Regulation :

Respiratory Regulation Mechanisms of control … Hyperventilation -- blow off CO2 Hypoventilation -- retain CO2 Regulation rapid... Seconds to minutes Measured by PaCO2 - Normal 35-45 mm Hg

Renal Regulation :

Renal Regulation Mechanism of control Excretion or retention of H+ or HCO3 Regulation….. Slow Hours to days to change pH Normal serum HCO3 22-26 mEq/L

Acid-Base Imbalances :

Acid-Base Imbalances Ratio of 20 to 1 out of balance Acidosis (acidemia) pH falls below 7.35 Increase in blood carbonic acid or Decrease in bicarbonate

Acid-Base Imbalances :

Acid-Base Imbalances Alkalosis (alkalemia) pH greater than 7.45 Increase in bicarbonate or Decrease in carbonic acid

Acid-Base Imbalances :

Acid-Base Imbalances Primary cause or origin: Metabolic Changes brought about by systemic alterations (cellular level) Respiratory Changes brought about by respiratory alterations

Acid-Base Imbalances :

Acid-Base Imbalances Compensation Corrective response of kidneys and/or lungs Compensated Restoration of pH and 20 : 1 ratio Uncompensated Inability to adjust pH or 20 : 1 ratio

Four Basic Types of Imbalance :

Four Basic Types of Imbalance Respiratory Acidosis Respiratory Alkalosis Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic Alkalosis

Respiratory Acidosis :

Respiratory Acidosis Carbonic acid excess Exhaling of CO2 inhibited Carbonic acid builds up pH falls below 7.35 Cause = Hypoventilation (see chart) H2CO3

Acid-Base Imbalances :

Acid-Base Imbalances Normal 1 20 7.4 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 24 mEq/L 1.2 mEq/L

Respiratory Acidosis :

Respiratory Acidosis 1 13 7.21 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 24 mEq/L 1.84 mEq/L

Respiratory Acidosis :

Respiratory Acidosis Compensation: How? Opposite regulating mechanism Problem = depressed breathing, build up of CO2 in blood Response - Kidney retains HCO3 (Response ….. Slow)

Respiratory Alkalosis :

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

Acid-Base Imbalances :

Acid-Base Imbalances Normal 1 20 7.4 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 24 mEq/L 1.2 mEq/L

Respiratory Alkalosis :

Respiratory Alkalosis 1 40 7.70 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 24 mEq/L 0.6 mEq/L

Respiratory Alkalosis :

Respiratory Alkalosis Compensation: Problem = excess “blowing off” of CO2 Result = decrease in carbonic acid and increase in HCO3 Response: Kidney excretes excess bicarbonate

Metabolic Acidosis :

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 :

Acid-Base Imbalances Normal 1 20 7.4 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 24 mEq/L 1.2 mEq/L

Metabolic Acidosis :

Metabolic Acidosis Kidney failure (decrease in bicarbonate) 1 10 7.10 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 12 mEq/L 1.2 mEq/L

Metabolic Acidosis :

Metabolic Acidosis Lactic acidosis, keto acidosis (increase acid… no change in bicarbonate) 1 10 7.10 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 24 mEq/L 2.4 mEq/L

Metabolic Acidosis :

Metabolic Acidosis Compensation: Problem = low HCO3 (base) or high H+ ion (acid) Response: Lungs hyperventilate Get rid of CO2 (decrease PaCO2 and therefore raise level of HCO3)

Metabolic Alkalosis :

Metabolic Alkalosis Bicarbonate excess High pH (> 7.45) Loss of H+ ion or gain of HCO3 Most common causes vomiting, gastric suctioning (NG tube) Other: Abuse of antacids, K+ wasting diuretics

Acid-Base Imbalances :

Acid-Base Imbalances Normal 1 20 7.4 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 24 mEq/L 1.2 mEq/L

Metabolic Alkalosis :

Metabolic Alkalosis 1 30 7.58 H2CO3 ……………… HCO3 36 mEq/L 1.2 mEq/L

Metabolic Alkalosis :

Metabolic Alkalosis Compensation: Problem = too much base Response: Lungs compensate by hypoventilating Retain CO2, increase PaCO2 Increase acid level in blood

Assessing ABGs :

Assessing ABGs pH 7.35 - 7.45 PaCO2 35 - 45 mmHg HCO3 22 - 26 mEq/L Base Excess -2 - +2 mEq/L PaO2 80 - 100 mm Hg O2 saturation 95 - 100 %

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs 1. Start with pH Normal? Acidosis? Alkalosis? ___/______/___/______/___ 6.8 7.35 7.45 8.0 Acidosis Alkalosis

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs 2. Assess PaCO2 (respiratory value) _____/________/______ 35 45 Respiratory Respiratory Alkalosis Acidosis (Note reversal) (See Chart)

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs 3. Evaluate metabolic indicators Bicarbonate (HCO3) 22-26 and Base excess (-2 to +2)

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs HCO3 _______/_______/________ 22 26 BE ______/_______/_________ -2 +2 Metabolic Metabolic acidosis alkalosis

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs 4. Determine level of compensation Has the body tried to readjust the pH? Uncompensated Partly compensated Compensated

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs Uncompensated pH abnormal (high or low) One component abnormal (high or low CO2 or HCO3) The other component is normal (The component not causing the acid-base imbalance is still normal)

Slide 44:

Partly compensated pH not normal (but moving toward normal) Both CO2 and HCO3 are outside normal range The component that was normal is changing in order to compensate

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs Compensated pH normal Other values abnormal in opposite directions One is acidotic the other alkaline

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs Determine amount of hypoxemia present Normal PaO2 (adults - room air) < 70 years = 80-100 mm Hg 70-79 = 70-100 mm Hg Drops 10 mm Hg for each decade

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs Hypoxemia = < 70 mm Hg (for adult < 70 years old) Mild = 60-80 mm Hg Moderate = 40-60 mm Hg Severe = < 40 mm Hg

Interpreting ABGs :

Interpreting ABGs Oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry) 95-100% < 91% confusion < 70% life threatening
