BLOOD GASES - ACID BASE BALANCE
Blood pH & blood buffer
What is a buffer?
Acid -base balance
Physiology of acid-base balance:
Lung function, transport of CO2 and acid-base balance
Kidneys and acid-base balance
Disturbances of acid-base balance
Respiratory acidosis – (raised pCO2, reduced pH)
Respiratory alkalosis – (reduced pCO2, increased pH)
- Metabolic acidosis – (decreased HCO3 –, decreased pH)
Metabolic alkalosis – (increased HCO3–, increased pH)
Water And Electrolytes Balance and Imbalance
Distribution of Water:
Disturbances of Water Homeostasis
