PPT-Fluid and Acid/Base Balance

Stable positive and negative balance Homeostasis maintenance of stable balances For any reversible reaction at equilibrium Thus changing the concentration of any reactant A B or AB changes the concentration of all reactants If for example A goes up B must go down and AB must go up in order to keep that ratio from changing. Janis Rusin APN, MSN, CPNP-AC. Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Lurie Children’s Transport Team. Objectives. Discuss the mechanisms for maintaining normal acid-base balance. Define respiratory and metabolic acidosis and alkalosis. Water, Electrolyte, and Acid–Base Balance. Learning Objectives. Explain regulation of electrolytes in the body; major ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluid and units of concentration. Describe common disturbances of water balance and pathogenesis. 4/8/14. Balance. Water and . electrolytes. . (molecules that release ions in water) . must maintain a balance of quantities coming in and leaving.. Mechanisms in the body are responsible for this balance. Titration. Acid–Base Titration. The concentration of a weak acid or a weak base in water is difficult – if not impossible – to measure directly.. But we can calculate the concentration from the results of titration.. MLAB 2401: Clinical Chemistry. Keri Brophy-Martinez. Terms. Acid. Any substance that can yield a hydrogen ion (H. +. ) or hydronium ion when dissolved in water. Release of proton or H. +. Base. Substance that can yield hydroxyl ions (OH. Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance. 1. Body Water Content. Infants have low body fat, low bone mass, and are 73% or more water. Total water content declines throughout life. Healthy males are about 60% water; healthy females are around 50%. ABGs,. CVADs. Zoya. . Minasyan. , RN, MSN-. Edu. Purpose. Maintain a balance between acids and bases to achieve homeostasis: State of equilibrium. Health problems lead to imbalance. Diabetes mellitus. Coakley. 2/27/2014. Quick Review: Acids. Acids are compounds which function as. hydrogen (H+) donors . in biochemical equations/solutes. The more free H+ ions available for donation, the more acidic the compound. M. . Gardner. Copyright2/4/2013. ACID /BASE BALANCE. In order to meet homeostasis, the body fluids must maintain a stable chemical balance of hydrogen ions in body fluids.. This is done by regulating their acidity /alkalinity. . OR. Regulation of Blood . pH. Dr. Anissa Atif Mirza. Synopsis. Introduction. Sources of Acids and Bases in body. What is Acid Base Balance?. Mechanisms Regulating Blood pH.. Significance of Maintaining Acid Base Balance. By. Dr. . Jamal Ahmed Abdul-Barry. . Professor in Clinical biochemistry. Buffering Systems. Buffers are aqueous systems that tend to resist changes in pH when small amounts of strong acid [H. Synovial fluid (joint fluid) (synovia. ):. Synovial fluid is a plasma dialysate modified by constituents secreted by the joint . tissues. .. Joint fluid is called . synovial fluid . because of its resemblance to egg white. . Many critical illnesses can disturb acid-base balance.. Acid-base disturbances may indicate an underlying disease or organ damage.. Accurate interpretation of acid-base disturbances requires the following:. Acid. is defined as a substance which when dissolved in water gives hydrogen ions. (H +) . Examples.. Base is defined as a substance which when dissolved in water gives hydroxyl ions. (OH-) . Examples..
