The conditions known as acidosis and alkalosis refer to a disruption of the body's?
ph balance
How does the bloodstream maintain pH?
The carbonic acid and bicarbonate in the bloodstream minimize (or buffer) any trend to acidosis or alkalosis
A patient choking on a hot dog is this respiratory acidosis or respiratory alkalosis?
This is respiratory acidosis. The patient will be unable to perform proper gas exchange due to the obstruction (food). As a result, the carbon dioxide levels will rise, and the pH will drop.
Distinguish between acidosis and alkalosis resulting from respiratory and metabolic factors?
If the patient's pH goes down, the patient will become acidotic. Their pH goes down when their CO2 in their blood is increased. If their pH does up, they will become alkadotic. This is caused by the direct relationship between bicarbonate (HCO3) and pH. If their bicarbonate levels rise their pH will rise also. Hope that helps.
What would cause metabolic alkalosis to slide into metabolic acidosis?
respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic acidosis
Does rebreathing result in acidosis or alkalosis?
Acidosis
Would a person who is hyperventilating suffer from alkalosis or acidosis?
When the pH level in blood falls below 7.35, then acidosis has occurred. On the other hand, when the pH in blood goes above 7.45, then that alkalosis has occurred. Loss of carbonic acid due to rapid breathing can cause alkalosis.
A student hyperventilates and is disoriented just before an exam Is this student likely to be experiencing acidosis or alkalosis?
alkalosis.
When someone breathes rapidly is this respiratory acidosis?
No. If you breathe too fast, you will blow off too much carbon dioxide, and cause respiratory alkalosis, wich is the opposite of respiratory acidosis,
What is acidosis and alkalosis?
Acidosis is a condition in which the pH of the blood is lower than normal, typically due to an accumulation of acids or a loss of bases. Alkalosis is the opposite, when the blood pH is higher than normal, usually caused by excessive loss of acids or accumulation of bases. Both conditions can have serious consequences on the body's functioning and require medical intervention.
Is alkalosis the blood condition in which the blood pH is higher than normal?
Yes. Acidosis is when the blood pH is lower than normal. Alkalosis usually results from hyperventilation, whereas acidosis results from asphyxiation.

If a student hyperventilate and is disoriented before an exam are they experiencing acidosis or alkalosis?
The student would be experiencing alkalosis, as he/she is blowing off Co2 which is an acidic gas. This is known as acute alkalosis.

ph balance
Does a baby with diarrhea sunken fontanelles dehydration bacterium induced colitis with antibiotics prescribed have acidosis or alkalosis when their pH is checked?
They would have alkalosis
What are the lab values you would see in someone with metabolic acidosis and alkalosis?
inbalance in ABG's
