Rule of B's for ABGs - if the pH and the Bicarb are Both in the same direction it is metaBolic normal pH normal Bicarb - pH: 7.35-7.45 Bicarb: 22-26 Kussmul respirations - MACkussmul= metabolic acidosis S&S of acid-base imbalance - as the pH goes, so goes my patient except for potassium UP: (alkolosis):decreased K+, highest risk for seizures DOWN: (acidosis): increased K+, highest risk for respiratory arrest causes of respiratory acid-base imbalance - lung=respiratory overvent or under...

metabolic - both pH and bicarb are in same direction respiratory - in opposite directions normal pH - 7.35-7.45 normal bicarb - 22-26 (2+2+2=6) When pH is high - Alkalosis. everything is high, K+ is low. Ex: hyperreflexia, irritable, taco, When pH is low - Acidosis. everything is low, K+ is high. Ex: lethargic, Brady Mac Kussmaul - The only acid base to cause Kussmaul respirations is Metabolic ACidosis patient over ventilating - pick alkalosis patient under ventilating - pick acidosis m...
