No new logs? Bored? Figure this out...

Just read on
Some Normal Values:
	PaO2 = 75 mmHg (in an older person) 
	          = 95 - 100 mm Hg in someone our age
	PaCO2 = 35 – 45 mmHg
	pH = 7.35 - 7.45
	A-a Gradient = up to 20 (for someone our age)
		           = 28 - 29 for the social security collecting crowd
			*ball park estimates…0.27 x age [upright], 0.42 x age [supine] 
Acid-Base
	o Last piece of blood gas assessment on arterial blood gases
	o will be covered in more detail in the renal lectures
		H+ + A- € HA
		HCl + A- € HA + Cl- (weaker acid + salt)
		H+ + HCO3- € H2CO3 ý CO2 + H2O
			       CA
	o Carbonic acid system is the major acid base system in the body
	o H+ is the strong acid, HCO3- is the conjugate base ý  forms a weak acid H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
		- this reaction is assisted by carbonic anhydrase (CA) which favors the reaction to the right

Figure what out?
DrKevorkian2000-12-13 19:16:07
This guy is dead. *sniff* Here's my bill.
I hate you all2000-12-13 19:18:03
Echo2000-12-13 19:18:35
Like we really need the extra + in the chain H+ + HCO3 etc..
The + can be assumed

The pH range looks a lil fishy, might wanna review that part

Hate is a great thing. It is simple. The reason to hate? It is not necessary to wonder about the reasons. It is necessary only to hate, to hate blindly, to hate patiently, to hate without anger; only to hate, and let nothing intervene, and not let oneself forget, ever.

Fresh dog shit = bad smell. Fresh baby shit = worse smell. Fresh fish shit = no smell at all!!! figure it out!
Unknown2000-12-13 19:43:15
That's why you thank for all the fish.
Gonfor2000-12-13 19:53:27
So what's the question? If you're gonna post crap like this here, actually make it in question form. *nod self*
Meteor2000-12-13 20:24:50
Ehe how nice to know, like I did not know yet =P
Dr Gazel2000-12-13 20:36:49
you making vodka or?
Gray2000-12-13 20:45:38
*gig* since when there is carbonic acid in vodka? ;) its fits for shampagne more ;)

Champagne is spelled with a C.

this is actually part of a class transcript from my girlfriend who is in medical school here. it is something they teach
Daevia2000-12-14 02:06:51
It's just notes on the circulatory system...
first part shows normal oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, as well as the normal pH range for blood. The bottom part discusses (in not very much detail) the pH buffer system used by the body to regulate blood pH. This was MEDICAL school stuff? Gah, we learned this in freshman Bio101...
Tryksh2000-12-14 10:04:02
This stuff is too hard to learn for girlfriends.

= 95 - 100 mm Hg in someone our age
OUR age??? what gives u the right decide what age we are? On a slightly different note, this is what ppl call in technical terms 'interesting information', no1 cares, one can always look it up :)
what are the € signs about btw? never saw one that didnt mean Euro :P or they discussing price of bloodtransfusions here? ooh, --> arrow? whatever char u used, it don't make sense on my screen, got it figured out now tho. | dr. Rippin (RsC): Yeah all sort of makes sense. What base meant with the A btw? if it is general formula for acid/base things, it is taught right be4 the 1st lesson in chemistry or biology :P

looks like a buncha shit to me...I don't pay attn to lab values, thats for
internists and nurses...
don't call me until you have the hemoglobin
Spellbinder2000-12-15 21:15:28
Mr. Hate was actually me...not phier
