Chapter 048. Acidosis and Alkalosis (Part 7) Alcoholic Ketoacidosis: Treatment Extracellular fluid deficits almost always accompany AKA and should be repleted by IV administration of saline and glucose (5% dextrose in 0.9% NaCl). Hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia may coexist[r]

Chapter 048. Acidosis and Alkalosis (Part 14) Chronic respiratory alkalosis is the most common acid-base disturbance in critically ill patients and, when severe, portends a poor prognosis. Many cardiopulmonary disorders manifest respiratory alkalosis in their early to intermediate stages, an[r]

Chapter 048. Acidosis and Alkalosis (Part 13) The clinical features vary according to the severity and duration of the respiratory acidosis, the underlying disease, and whether there is accompanying hypoxemia. A rapid increase in PaCO2 may cause anxiety, dyspnea, confusion, psychosis, and ha[r]

Chapter 048. Acidosis and Alkalosis (Part 11) Alkali Administration Chronic administration of alkali to individuals with normal renal function rarely, if ever, causes alkalosis. However, in patients with coexistent hemodynamic disturbances, alkalosis can develop because the normal capacity t[r]

Chapter 048. Acidosis and Alkalosis (Part 10) Differential Diagnosis To establish the cause of metabolic alkalosis (Table 48-6), it is necessary to assess the status of the extracellular fluid volume (ECFV), the recumbent and upright blood pressure, the serum [K+], and the renin-aldosterone[r]

Chapter 048. Acidosis and Alkalosis (Part 4) Approach to the Patient: Acid-Base Disorders A stepwise approach to the diagnosis of acid-base disorders follows (Table 48-3). Care should be taken when measuring blood gases to obtain the arterial blood sample without using excessive heparin. Blo[r]

Chapter 048. Acidosis and Alkalosis (Part 5) Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic acidosis can occur because of an increase in endogenous acid production (such as lactate and ketoacids), loss of bicarbonate (as in diarrhea), or accumulation of endogenous acids (as in renal failure). Metabolic acidos[r]
