Mr. Appel has a severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He is admitted to the hospital with a respiratory infection and increased dyspnea; yellow, purulent sputum; anxiety; diaphores. He states he feels weak and tired. He routinely takes a diuretic (furosemide) and his pulmonary medications. The following values are obtained: ABG pH 7.25 PaO2 60mmHg PaCO2 78MMhg HCO3-34 mEq/I Serum sodium 140 serum potassium 2.0 serum chloride 105 .a. what type of electrolyte imbalance does Mr. Appel have? b. Interpret his ABGs

A 40yo male presents to the emergency department with the chief complaint of shortness of breath (SOB). His past medical history (MHx) is remarkable for hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus II (DMII). On examination, his oxygen saturation on room air is 87%, blood pressure 160/100 mmHg, and pulse rate is 93/min. His arterial blood gas on room air shows pH 7.44, PCO2 35 mmHg, PO2 55 mmHg. Assume that the RQ is 0.8. Given arterial pO2 and alveolar pO2, the following disease states are plausible...

Mrs. Breathless is a 45-year-old female nurse with a history of asthma. She reports to the ED in the early morning with shortness of breath, blurred vision, headache, and restlessness. After several laboratory tests, the following ABG (arterial blood gases) lab results are confirmed: Blood pH=7.30 PaCO2 = 46 mm Hg HCO3 = 24 mEq/L. Based on the results of her ABG, which acid-base imbalance is Mrs. Breathless likely experiencing? Justify your answer by referencing the ROME mnemonic. What is the underlying pathophysiology of this disorder? What type of compensation is likely to take place? Why do you think Mrs. Breathless developed this imbalance? What are some of the contributing factors leading to this?
