Hyperventilation Respiratory Depression Excessive Sodium Bicarbonate therapy Which of the following conditions is the most likely cause of respiratory acidosis? Diabetic ketoacidosis Hyperventilation Respiratory Depression Excessive Sodium Bicarbonate therapy Which of the following conditions is the most likely cause of respiratory alkalosis? Diabetic ketoacidosis Hyperventilation Respiratory Depression Excessive Sodium Bicarbonate therapy What is the most effective therapy for reversing acidosis in a patient with exacerbated COPD? Hyperventilation Hypoventilation Sodium Bicarbonate IV Therapy

Explanation / Answer

All of these are right

17) Metabolic alkalosis - It is a metabolic condition in which the pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal range. It is due to increased bicarbonate concentrations.

18) Respiratory acidosis – It is a condition which occurs when the lungs can’t remove enough of the carbon dioxide produced by the body. Due to excess CO2 the pH of blood and other bodily fluids decrease, making them too acidic. Acidosis occurs when the pH of the blood falls below 7.35. Respiratory acidosis is caused due to Respiratory Depression

19) Respiratory alkalosis- carbon dioxide levels drop too low, which causes the pH of the blood to rise and become too alkaline. Hyperventilation is responsible for the lowered arterial pCO2 in all cases of respiratory alkalosis.

20) the most effective therapy for reversing acidosis in a patient with exacerbated COPD is sodium bicarbonate. Respiratory acidosis is normalizes via the buffering action of bicarbonate ions generated by the kidney.
