Will hypocapnia - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

What is the best measure of the adequacy of cellular perfusion and helps predict the outcome of resuscitation? Base deficit used in conjunction with serum lactate Will hypocapnia cause vasoconstriction or vasodilation, especially in the cerebral vasculature? Vasoconstriction What results from tissue hypo perfusion and oxygen deficit? Metabolic acidosis What type of shock results in generalized vasodilation? Neurogenic shock

1. 1.What is the effect of hypothermia on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve: Hemoglobin does not readily release oxygen for use by the tissues A shift to the left occurs in an environment of low metabolic demand (hypothermia, hypocapnia, alkalosis), increasing hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. 2. EMS arrives with the intoxicated driver of a car involved in a motor vehicle crash. EMS reports significant damage to the driver's side of the car. The patient is asking to have the cervical co...

Q9.)A patient enters the emergency department in respiratory compromise. The team is monitoring the patient using capnography and identifies that ETCO2 levels are initially 33 mmHg and later 40 mmHg. From these readings, the team identifies that the patient is progressing in what stage of respiratory compromise? Respiratory acidosis Respiratory failure Respiratory distress Respiratory arrest ANSWER: - 3 Capnography can objectively assess the severity of a patient's respiratory distress...
