1. Co2 in serum= HC02 and Anion gap

   wannadowell replied to wannadowell's topic in Cardiac

   Thank you. So when we read CO2 in blood we are reading how CO2 is acting in venous blood (i assume) and blood gasses are then derived from the artrial blood. I will look up the Haldane effect.

2. Co2 in serum= HC02 and Anion gap

   By the way the whole subject brought up is CO2 levels read from a blood test rather than a CO2 blood gas. CO2 blood gas normal levels are btw 35-45. CO2 serum = (HCO3-) normal readings vary btw 22-26 through 29.

4. Co2 in serum= HC02 and Anion gap

   Not homework. No longer in school but I did graduate Magna Cum Laude in the top seven of my class and passed my boards in June with 75 questions. Always did my own homework and continue to work hard and question things on my own time as a nurse. I wi...

5. Co2 in serum= HC02 and Anion gap

   wannadowell posted a topic in Cardiac

   I think this is confusing and many people I know are reading serum C02 from labs as acidic rather than alkaline. Apparently C02 dissolved in blood serum is the same as HC03. Does everyone agree. Also why don't they just say so in the lab results? How...

6. When SpO2 values dont' match PaO2

   wannadowell replied to wannadowell's topic in Cardiac

   Thank you. Very ineresting and helpful information. Especially interesting with the anion gap. I was looking into that while studying up after my post. The next thing I run into is that CO2 in serum is really HC03. I was discussing this at work last ...

   Thank you! I did find Dr. Martin's information last night after sending the message and he does explain it so well. Thank you in addition for your extra articles. Much appreciated.

9. When SpO2 values dont' match PaO2

   wannadowell posted a topic in Cardiac

   Can someone please help me understand how an SpO2 value can be 95 while the PaO2 reads as low as 40 to 60. I know SpO2 is Hgb saturation% and SaO2 is O2 pressure in plasma. How can the values in this patient be so off in relation? Does this mean a pe...

13. Why no sticks after mastectomy

    wannadowell posted a topic in Student Assist

    Please can someone explain to me why needle sticks are dangerous to affected side after breast removal. I understand that we lose lymph nodes which interrupts the flow of lymph so no BP cuffs should go there. Why can't we draw blood from the veins? I...
