- Hyper and hypo ventilation with PaCO2 levels - allnurses
high paco2 levels stimulate you to hyperventilate which compensates and ends up decreasing co2 levels right, so you are blowing off the co2 this decreases the production of carbonic acid this is why you can end up with respiratory alkalosis ??? right?
- Pneumonia and PaCO2 - Nursing Student Assistance - allnurses
My med-surg book and other sources tell me that in pneumonia, initially, ABG values for both PaO2 and PaCO2 will be low, and later in the disease Pa02 will be l
- Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Interpretation: Components, Disorders . . .
ABG Overview Before diving into mastering the art of ABG interpretation, we need to discuss a few basics Arterial blood gases are the gold standard for assessing acid-base (pH) imbalances Also, it assesses how well the body is oxygenating and removing excess carbon dioxide This is measured by the amount of oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in the blood If the body is not using
- Can someone please explain the difference PO2 and PaO2?
Members are discussing the difference between PO2 and PaO2, with some stating that they are used interchangeably but technically not the same PO2 refers to the partial pressure of oxygen in a given environment, while PaO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in arterial blood The discussion also touches on the oxygen dissociation curve and its relationship to the partial pressure and

May 13, 2014 pH: 7 28 PaCO2: 28 PaO2: 70 HCO3: 18 Partial Respiratory Acidosis? I would call this a partially compensated metabolic acidosis The pH is low, therefore it's an acidosis The HCO3 is low, which tells me it's the cause of the acidosis
- HELP with ABGs and Correction by Ventilatory Settings
Another reason for the increase in PaCO2, other than a poor ventilator mode choice, is the deadspace from the pulmonary vasoconstriction from a prolonged hypoxic state This is what is not used to explain a sudden increase in PaCO2 rather than the old "knocked out his hypoxic drive" What are some of the other reasons he could be acidotic? Lactate?
- Question about the CO2 level on a BMP Chem 6 - allnurses
Therefore norm PaCO2 35-45, norm etCO2 30-40 or so This happens because the total level of CO2 within the body measured by a PaCO2 takes into consideration the CO2 bound up as bicarbonate ions
- Apnea and CO2 rise - Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
Can someone offer a good explanation as to why the PaCO2 increases much more (~7 mmHg) in the first minute of apnea before leveling off (~3 mmHg)? Thanks
