What are the normal ranges for PaO2 and PaCO2?
95-100
What is elevated PaCO2?
It's a level of carbon dioxide in the blood that's higher than normal.
What are the normal measure for arterial pco2?
35-45 mm Hg --- The normal PaCO2 (arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood) is 40mmHg. There is a normal range, which is 35-45mmHg. For those with COPD 60 or below is good.
What is a list of the normal arterial blood gas values?
There are many measures of Arterial Blood Gases. The most common measure oxygen (by PaO2) and carbon dioxide (by PaCO2) levels. Normal PaO2 is 80-100 mmHg. Normal PaCO2 is 35-45 mmHg. Bicarbonate is sometimes measured and its value is 22-26 mmHg. Other measurements are also taken depending on the situation. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_blood_gas
What is the best index of effective ventilation?
PaCO2
What element decreases in hyperventilation?
decreased PAco2
What is HCO3-?
HCO3 is bicarbonate. Testing for HCO3 is usually done as part of arterial blood gas testing which determines whether the acid-base levels of the body are normal. Normal levels are pH 7.35-7.45, PaCO2 35-45 and HCO3 22-26. If the values for these measurements are outside the normal ranges, then the body has an acid-base imbalance. If the PaCO2 is off, the condition is a respiratory issue. if the HCO3 is outside the normal range, then it is a metabolic issue.
A paco2 of 65 and a pao2 of 88 what do these results mean?
high level of carbon dioxide in the blood stream which could be from a multitude of reasons. At 65 mm hg, the CO2 level is very high relative to normal range of 35 o 45. The PAO2 is in normal range at 88. The high PACO2 would cause the pH of the blood to be elevated without increased bicarbonates from the kidney or external delivery to compensate.
What is the normal respiratory drive?
The average healthy individual is stimulated to breath by the carbonic drive, or increased levels of carbon dioxide. When our paco2 levels increase our internal ph levels decrease causing us to become acidotic. Therefore, we breathe more in an attempt to blow of the excess paco2 subsequently increasing our ph and regaining homeostasis.
How do you define the Paco2-PeCo2 equation?
It is part of the anatomic dead space calculation. PaCO2 (arterial carbon dioxide) minus PeCO2 (end tidal CO2) The formula for calculating anatomic dead space (the space where there is ventilation without perfusion in the respiratory system, between mouth and terminal bronchi) PaCO2-PeCO2/PaCO2. Accurate values for calculation need to be obtained from an ABG (arterial blood gas)
What organ excretes paco2?
the aveoli in the lungs and skin
What is the best indication of the adequacy of alveolar ventilation?
PaCO2.
