Type 2 Respiratory Impairment
•High PaCO2 and is due to inadequate alveolar
ventilation
•PaO2 usually low too
•Room air = PAO2 (60) - PaO2(60)= 0
![Page 5: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• High PaCO2
• Room air : PAO2 (60) – PaO2 (60) = 0 (N:< 25-30)
• Common cause:
– Flail chest injury
– Opiate/ BNZ toxicity
– Inhaled foreign body
– Neuromuscular disorders
– COPD*
• Acute
• Chronic

![Page 11: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ACID BASE BALANCE
![Page 12: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Why acid base balance is so important?
– For celular processes ( include enzymes) to occur efficiently
– Acidosis : CNS depression → death
– Alkalosis : CNS overexcitability → death
![Page 13: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Physiologic Effect• AcidosisRespiratory Effects
· Hyperventilation (·· Kussmaul respirations)
· Shift of oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve to the right
Cardiovascular Effects
· Depression of myocardial contractility (this effect predominates at pH < 7.2 ) , Sympathetic over-activity, Resistance to the effects of catecholamines
· Peripheral arteriolar vasodilatation, Venoconstriction of peripheral veins , Vasoconstriction of pulmonary arteries ,Effects of hyperkalemia on heart
Central Nervous System Effects
· Cerebral vasodilation
· Very high pCo2 levels will cause central depression
Other Effects
· Increased bone resorption (chronic metabolic acidosis only)
· Shift of K+ out of cells causing hyperkalemia
· Increase in extracellular phosphate concentration
• Alkalosis• Respiratory Effects
· Shift of oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve to the left (impaired unloading of oxygen
· Inhibition of respiratory drive via the central & peripheral chemoreceptors
Cardiovascular Effects
· Depression of myocardial contractility , ·Arrhythmias
Central Nervous System Effects
· Cerebral vasoconstriction leads to a decrease in cerebral blood flow (result in confusion, muoclonus, asterixis, loss of consciousness and seizures) Only seen in acute respiratory alkalosis. Effect last only about 6 hours.
· Increased neuromuscular excitability ( result in paraesthesias such as circumoral tingling & numbness; carpopedal spasm)
Other Effects
· Causes shift of hydrogen ions into cells, leading to hypokalemia.

Sources of H+ ions in our bodies:
1. Breakdown of fat and sugars for energy
2. Metabolism of protein → metabolic acids
Normal extracellular pH: 7.35 - 7.45

Body Acid Base Regulation
• A. Chemical buffer system :
• 1. H2CO3 : HCO3 buffer pair = Primary ECF buffer for
noncarbonic acid
– CO2 + H2O↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3
• 2. Protein buffer system:
– Mostly by albumin
• 3. Phosphate buffer system
• 4. Hemoglobin buffer system = H+ buffer system generated from CO2
• H++ Hb ↔ HHb

• B. Respiratory System = removal of CO2
– Limitation : can return pH only 50-75% toward normal
![Page 17: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• C. Renal : – Conserve or excrete HCO3
![Page 18: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
– Energy dependent H+ carriers in the tubular cells
• Phosphate ( derived from excess ingested Phosphate )
![Page 19: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Amonia : from glutamine released by the renal tubular cells when pH ↓
• NH3 + H+ → NH
4+

Mixed acid base disturbance
• When a primary respiratory disturbance and primary metabolic occur simultaneously
• Ex : 1. Salycilate poisoning
– Primary Hyperventilation ( resp.alkalosis )
– salicylate acid ( metab.acidosis )
– 2. Severe ventilatory failure
– Rising PaCO2
– Lower PO2 → lactic acidosis
![Page 23: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Uncompensated acid base balance
• When an alkalosis or acidosis developed
• Compensated acid base balance
• Partially compensated
• (pH still abnormal)
• Fully compensated
• (pH has returned back to normal)
• Tips: the overcompensation doesn't occur

Acid Base Balance Disorder
![Page 25: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Disorders of Acid Base Balance
• Henderson Haselbach equation:
![Page 26: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Metabolic Acidosis
• Occurs when :
• The body produces too much acid,
• When the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body,
• Through excessive loss of base (HCO
3)
• Etiology:
• K = Ketoacidosis (DKA,alcoholic ketoacidosis, starvation)
• U = Uremia (Renal Failure)
• L =Lactic acidosis
• T = Toxins (Ethylene glycol, methanol, paraldehyde, salicylate)
• To help making dd/:• Anion gap= ( [Na+] ) - ( [Cl-]+[HCO3-] )
– Normal AG: 12 ± 2 mmol/L
• In patient with severe hypoalbuminemia:
• Corrected AG=Actual AG – {2.5(4.5-album)}
• Elevated anion gap:
• Renal failure, Ketoacidosis, Lactic acidosis
• Normal anion gap:
• Gi tract loss, Renal HCO3- loss, volume Rescucitation of Normal Saline
![Page 27: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• For Elevated anion gap (to determine if a mixed acid base disorder is present) :
• Delta ratio:
Measured anion gap – Normal anion gap = AG-12
Normal [HCO3-] – Measured [HCO3-] 24- [HCO3-]
Ratio table :
< 0.4 - Hyperchloraemic normal anion gap acidosis
0.4 to 0.8 - Combined high AG and normal AG acidosis
1 - Common in DKA due to urinary ketone loss
1 to 2 - Typical pattern in high anion gap metabolic acidosis
> 2 Check for either a co-existing Metabolic Alkalosis (which would elevate [HCO3]) or a co-existing Chronic Respiratory Acidosis (which results in compensatory elevation of [HCO3])
Cara lain : ∆gap: { AG - 12 } – {24 - HCO3-} Normal ∆ gap : 0 ± 6
Positive ∆ gap : High AG acidosis and a concurrent metabolic alkalosis
Negative ∆ gap : High AG & normal AG acidosis
Expected PaCO2 = 1.5 x [HCO3] + 8 (range: +/- 2)
![Page 28: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Metabolic Alkalosis
Any process ,other than a fall in CO2 → HCO3 and pH ↑
Etiology:
a. ↑ HCO3 generation:
Chloride depleted ( Urine Cl < 20mmol/L): Profound potassium depletion
Chloride expanded (Urine Cl > 20mmol/L) : Diuretics, Emesis, NGT,
Excess admin. Alkali : Acetate in parentral infusion, Citrate (blood transfusion), Antacids, Bicarbonate.
b. Impaired HCO3 excretion : ↓ GFR
Compensation : Hypoventilation
Expected PaCO2 = 0.7 [HCO3] + 20 (range: +/- 5)*
![Page 29: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Respiratory Acidosis• Hypoventilation causes ↑ blood CO2 and ↓ pH
• Etiology : Narcotics, CNS injury, pulmonary disease, abdominal compartment syndrome
• Acute vs Chronic
• Acute respiratory acidosis :
• The PaCO2 is elevated with an accompanying acidemia (pH <7.35)
• Decrease in pH = (PaCO2-40) x 0.08
• 10
• The [HCO3] will increase by 1 mmol/l for every 10 mmHg
elevation in pCO2 above 40 mmHg.
• Expected [HCO3] = 24 + { (Actual PaCO2 - 40) / 10 }
![Page 30: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Chronic respiratory acidosis :
• The PaCO2 is ↑ above the upper limit of the reference range, with a normal blood pH (7.35 to 7.45) or near-normal pH secondary to renal compensation and an elevated serum bicarbonate (HCO3− >30 mm Hg).
– Decrease in pH = 0,03 x PaCO2 – 40
» 10• The [HCO3] will increase by 4 mmol/l for every 10 mmHg
elevation in pCO2 above 40mmHg.
• Expected [HCO3] = 24 + 4 { (Actual PaCO2 - 40) / 10}
![Page 31: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Respiratory Alkalosis
Hyperventilation causes ↓ blood CO2 and ↑ pH
Etiology : pain, anxiety, fever,drugs (salycilate), thyrotoxicosis
Acute vs Chronic
Acute respiratory alkalosis :
The PaCO2 is decreased with an accompanying alkalosis ( pH > 7.45)
Increase in pH = (40 - PCO2) x 0.08
10
• The [HCO3] will decrease by 2 mmol/l for every 10 mmHg decrease in pCO2 below 40 mmHg.
• Expected [HCO3] = 24 - 2 { ( 40 - Actual pCO2) / 10 }
![Page 32: Arterial Blood Gas](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5474c58bb4af9f26318b45a6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Chronic respiratory alkalosis :
• The PaCO2 is ↓ below the lower limit of the reference range, with a normal blood pH (7.35 to 7.45) or near-normal pH secondary to renal compensation and a decreased serum bicarbonate.
– Increase in pH = 0,03 x 40 - PaCO2
10
The [HCO3] will decrease by 5 mmol/l for every 10 mmHg decrease in pCO2 below 40 mmHg.
• Expected [HCO3] = 24 - 5 { ( 40 - Actual pCO2 ) / 10 } +/- 2)
