FP-C: Acid-Base and Oxygen

Terms in this set (16)

ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
FIO2
Fraction of Inspired oxygen
PaO2
Partial pressure of arterial oxygen
PAO2
Partial pressure of alveolar oxygen
ETCO2
End-tidal CO2
SaO2
Arterial saturation of oxygen
ABG
Arterial Blood Gas
Aerobic metabolism produces?
36-38 ATP
Where does the ATP come from?
Glycolysis - 2 ATP
Pyruvic Acid - Acetyl co-enzyme A
Kreb's Cycle - 2 ATP
Electron Transport Chain - 34 ATP
Primary byproducts of aerobic metabolism?
CO2 and H2O
Anaerobic metabolism produces?
2-4 ATP
Primary byproducts of anaerobic metabolism?
Glycolysis produces pyruvic acid. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvic acid forms lactic acid due to high levels of H+.
What is the ultimate test for shock?
Lactate Level
Normal Lactate Levels
1.0 mmol/L +/- 0.5mmol/L (millimoles/Liter)
Critically ill signals of lactic acidosis
> 2.0 mmol/L (millimoles/Liter)
Fastest way to increase partial pressure of oxygen?
Increasing the percentage of oxygen
