Study Notes
Signs and Symptoms of Need for Supplemental Oxygen
- Signs and symptoms of supplemental oxygen need depend on the speed of hypoxia development
- Rapidly developing hypoxia affects the central nervous system, resembling alcohol intoxication
- Long-standing hypoxia in COPD and chronic heart failure patients leads to fatigue, drowsiness, and delayed reaction time
- Assessment of oxygen need involves arterial blood gas analysis, pulse oximetry, and clinical evaluation
- Arterial blood gas studies assess lung function and kidney's ability to maintain body pH
- Complications of arterial blood gas studies include pain, infection, hematoma, and hemorrhage
- Venous blood gas studies provide data on oxygen delivery and consumption
- Venous blood gas levels reflect the balance between oxygen used by tissues and oxygen returning to the heart
- Kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining the body's acid-base balance
- Kidneys reabsorb bicarbonate and excrete or reabsorb acid to maintain pH
- The kidney excretes excess acid through chemical buffers like phosphate ions and ammonia
- The buffering process allows the kidney to excrete large quantities of acid in a bound form without lowering urine pH
