Tame, Zach here from med geeks. Welcome back. So this is part two of the acid-based disorders

four week session. So today we're going to tackle respiratory alkalosis.

Once again, breaking up the acid-based disorder

so that your brain can focus in on one disorder

and not get them all jumbled up

and let the steps sink in.

So once again, what is normal?

I'm going to repeat myself each of these podcasts on acid-based disorders so that it sticks.

Remember, repetition and practice is key in medicine. So normal pH 7.35 to 7.45

if the pH is less than 7.35, Acedemia, pH greater than 7.45, Alkolemia. Normal by carb, 22 to 26, normal

PCO2 35 to 45. And like I said last time, quick purl, majority of the time, as there are always

exceptions, pH and bicarved if they move in the same direction from normal,

primary metabolic process.

pH and PCO2 move in opposite directions from normal.

It's a primary respiratory process.

So two things that I didn't mention last time. One, there's partially

compensated, aka the pH is still abnormal and fully compensated,

aka pH has normalized.

This helps with management, but it'll help you with test questions

that ask and then in the answer it says is it partially compensated fully

compensated look at the pH. Two if an A, B, G reveals partial

compensation and the kidneys four days or lungs 12 to 24 hours, haven't
