Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis
Activity 1: Normal Breathing
1. At 20 seconds, pH = 7.40 2. At 40 seconds, pH = 7.40 3. At 60 seconds, pH = 7.40 4. Did the pH level of the blood change at all during normal breathing? If so, how? No 5. Was the pH level always within the “normal” range for the human body? Yes 6. Did the PCO2 level change during the course of normal breathing? If so, how? No
Activity 2a: Hyperventilation – Run 1
1. At 20 seconds, pH = 7.46 2. At 40 seconds, pH = 7.55 3. At 60 seconds, pH = 7.68 4. Maximum pH = 7.68 5. Did the pH level of the blood change at all during this run? If so, how? The Ph levels were raised. 6. Was the pH level always within the “normal” range for the human body? If not, when was the pH value outside of the normal range, and what acid/base imbalance did this pH value indicate? The Ph was outside the normal range when it went above 7.45 which caused respiratory alkalosis 7. Did the PCO2 level change during the curse of this run? If so, how? The 8. If you observed an acid/base imbalance during this run, how would you expect to renal system to compensate for this condition? 9. How did the hyperventilation trace differ from the trace for the normal breathing? The respiratory volumes went above and below the listed normal breathing. Normal breathing was between 2.5-3.0 liters and hyperventilation was between 1.0-4.0 liters. Did the tidal volumes change? Yes 10. What might cause a person to hyperventilate? Fever or anxiety
