Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 30RQ
One of the debates in fluid therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is whether to administer bicarbonate (bicarb). Although it is generally accepted that bicarb should be given if the patient’s blood pH is <7.1 (life-threatening), most authorities do not give bicarb otherwise. One reason for not administering bicarb relates to the oxygen-binding capacity of hemoglobin. In DKA, patients have low levels of 2,3-BPG [p. 573]. When acidosis is corrected rapidly, 2,3-BPG is much slower to recover and may take 24 or more hours to return to normal.
Draw and label a graph of the normal oxygen-dissociation curve [p. 573]. Briefly explain and draw lines on the same graph to show:
- (a) what happens to oxygen release during DKA as a result of acidosis and low 2,3-BPG levels.
- (b) what happens to oxygen release when the
metabolic acidosis is rapidly corrected with bicarbonate.

What effect does hyperventilation have on blood pH and why? What simple measure can be used to correct the pH imbalance and how does it work? What effect would hyperventilation have on hemoglobin O2 saturation in a normal healthy individual? What effect would a PaO2 of 60 mmHg have on hemoglobin O2 saturation and why? (explain in terms of the O2-Hb dissociation curve)

- Sixty hours after aspirin ingestion, the patient’s blood pH has returned to normal (pH7.4). Describe how the carbonic acid/bicarbonate buffering system responded to bring thepatient’s blood pH back to normal. LeChatelier’s Principle may be helpful here. For the question above, doesn't the stopping of hyperventilation (due to the passage of time) automatically increase the CO2 concentration in blood, thus re-establishing all the "normal" equilibria, including the one with H+?
