Winters formula
PCO2=[1.5XHCO3]+8+/-2
Prediction of compensation for Metabolic acidosis
For every 1 mmHG HCO3 decrease
Decrease in PCO2 of 1.25
Compensation for Metabolic Alkalosis
For every 1 mmHG increase of HCO3 there is a increase in PCO2 of .75
Respiratory Alkalosis compensations
Acute for every
2 HCO3 there is a decrease 10 mmhg PC02
Chronic
4 HCO3 decrease of 10 mmgh
Respiratory Acidosis
for every
Four major causes of AG acidosis
Ketoacidosis
Lactic acidosis
Renal failure
Toxins
Anion gap
Sodium- [Cl+HCO3-]
normal is 12
Cause for decrease in Anion gap
Lithium toxicity
Immunoglobulins (positive charge)
Loss of albumin
Hyperlipidemia- which causes decreased sodium
Decrease in albumin
fall in albumin of 1 decreases anion gap by 2.5
Alkalosis decrease in potassium with increase in pH
.4-.6 decrease in potassium
Magnesium and potassium excretion
Hypo magnesium increases potassium excretion
Level for hypokalemia
Less than 3.3
Hyperkalemia
Greater than 5.5
Substances that shift potassium into cell
Insulin
Bicarb
Albuterol
Drugs that cause hypocalcemia
Cimetadine
Flouride
Ethanol
Phenytoin
Calcium albumin correction
.8 increase in callcium for every 1 decrease in albumin
Anacrotic pulse with slow initial upstroke
Left ventricular outflow obstruction such as aortic stenosis
pulsus bisfierens
Aortic regurgitation
Pulsus tardus
Delayed A2 sound caused by aortic stenosis
WPW
Short PR interval
Delta wave
Normal PR interval
.12-.20
Prolonged QRS interval
Tricyclic overdose
WPW
Normal QRS interval
.06-.10
or less than .12
