1.Easy
A practice arterial blood gas shows pH 7.64, PaCO₂ 23 mmHg (3.1 kPa) and HCO₃⁻ 24 mmol/L. Which primary disorder is it? Click the cell in the grid.
pH 7.64PaCO₂ 23 mmHg (3.1 kPa)HCO₃⁻ 24 mmol/L
1respiratory acidosis
2metabolic acidosis
3respiratory alkalosis
4metabolic alkalosis
2.Easy
A practice blood gas shows PaO₂ 91 mmHg (12.1 kPa) while the inspired oxygen is 60%. Calculate the ratio P/F = PaO₂/FiO₂ in mmHg.
PaO₂ 91 mmHg (12.1 kPa)FiO₂ 60%
P/F = mmHg
3.Medium
A practice arterial blood gas shows pH 7.58, PaCO₂ 22 mmHg (2.9 kPa) and HCO₃⁻ 20 mmol/L. The primary disorder is respiratory alkalosis. How far is it compensated? Click your answer.
pH 7.58PaCO₂ 22 mmHg (2.9 kPa)HCO₃⁻ 20 mmol/L
1uncompensated
2partially compensated
3fully compensated
4.Medium
Practice values: Na⁺ 138 mmol/L, glucose 5.7 mmol/L and urea 22.2 mmol/L. Calculate the serum osmolality Osm = 2·Na⁺ + glucose + urea to the nearest whole number.
Na⁺ 138 mmol/Lglucose 5.7 mmol/Lurea 22.2 mmol/L
Osm = mOsm/kg
5.Hard
Practice values: Na⁺ 144, Cl⁻ 111, HCO₃⁻ 18 mmol/L and albumin 16 g/L. Find the albumin-corrected anion gap AGc = AG + 0.25·(40 − albumin).
A practice gas shows pH 7.24, PaCO₂ 24 mmHg (3.2 kPa) and HCO₃⁻ 10 mmol/L, with Na⁺ 141 and Cl⁻ 101 mmol/L. Use the anion gap and the delta ratio to click the best interpretation.
