1.Easy
A practice arterial blood gas shows pH 7.57, PaCO₂ 27 mmHg (3.6 kPa) and HCO₃⁻ 24 mmol/L. Which primary disorder is it? Click the cell in the grid.
pH 7.57PaCO₂ 27 mmHg (3.6 kPa)HCO₃⁻ 24 mmol/L
1respiratory acidosis
2metabolic acidosis
3respiratory alkalosis
4metabolic alkalosis
2.Easy
A practice blood gas shows PaO₂ 103 mmHg (13.7 kPa) while the inspired oxygen is 35%. Calculate the ratio P/F = PaO₂/FiO₂ in mmHg.
PaO₂ 103 mmHg (13.7 kPa)FiO₂ 35%
P/F = mmHg
3.Medium
Practice values: Na⁺ 144 mmol/L, glucose 17.7 mmol/L and urea 16.4 mmol/L. Calculate the serum osmolality Osm = 2·Na⁺ + glucose + urea to the nearest whole number.
Na⁺ 144 mmol/Lglucose 17.7 mmol/Lurea 16.4 mmol/L
Osm = mOsm/kg
4.Medium
A practice arterial blood gas shows pH 7.61, PaCO₂ 42 mmHg (5.6 kPa) and HCO₃⁻ 41 mmol/L. The primary disorder is metabolic alkalosis. How far is it compensated? Click your answer.
pH 7.61PaCO₂ 42 mmHg (5.6 kPa)HCO₃⁻ 41 mmol/L
1uncompensated
2partially compensated
3fully compensated
5.Hard
A practice gas shows pH 7.32, PaCO₂ 28 mmHg (3.7 kPa) and HCO₃⁻ 14 mmol/L, with Na⁺ 146 and Cl⁻ 92 mmol/L. Use the anion gap and the delta ratio to click the best interpretation.
A practice gas shows pH 7.32, PaCO₂ 34 mmHg (4.5 kPa) and HCO₃⁻ 17 mmol/L, with Na⁺ 146 and Cl⁻ 95 mmol/L. Use the anion gap and the delta ratio to click the best interpretation.
