Trang 2RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS
Definition:
A Primary increase in arterial PaCO2
leading to decrease in arterial pH
It could be Acute or Chronic
Trang 3:
Either :
alveolar hypoventilation
Or
V/P mismatching
Trang 4Alveolar hypoventilation
1 -Respiratory Center suppression
: Can be suppressed by many factors like : drugs
2 -Neuromuscular Junction : Ex : mysthenia gravies
3 -Respiratory Muscles: Ex : myopathy
4 -Pleural Cavity: Ex : pneumothorax
5 -Lung Parenchyma and Airways
: Ex: obstructive lung disease ( BA & COPD )
Alveolar hypoventilation
Trang 5V/P mismatching
pulmonary embolism
Pneumonia
Acute respiratory distress syndrome
Collapsing of alveoli
fibrosis

Trang 8RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS
The Value of “A-a” Gradient:
Calculation:
1. paCo2 X 1.2 = X
2. 150 – X = “A”
3. A (alveolar O2) – a (arterial O2) = A-a gradient
Normal A-a Gradient = Up to 15 mmHg
High A-a Gradient Vent Perfusion
mismatching
Normal A-a Gradient Alveolar Hypoventilation

Trang 10Clinical manifestation
:
duration of respiratory acidosis
Precipitous rise in PCo2 can lead to :
Confusion , anexity , psychosis , flapping tremor , seizure
Signs of catecholamines release : diaporesis ,
increase heart rate and high cardiac output,
flushing
Coma in PCo2 > 60 mmHg ( Co2 narcosis)
Signs of chronic hypercapnia :
Fatigue , lethargy in addition to finding in acute
hypercapnia
Trang 11:
Treatment of repiratory acidosis aimed
primarily at :
Correction of underlying cause
( COPD,asthma, pulmonary embolism ….)
And
Ensuring adequate ventilation
Trang 12Roles in management
:
in management of patient with respiratory
acidosis >>> we don’t give him 100% oxygen to not suppress the respiratory center
Also , sedatives , narcotics are contraindicated unless we will put the pt on ventilator
