Acid Base Disorders ... Image

Acid Base Disorders

Acid-base disorders are pathological changes in arterial pH and carbon dioxide partial pressure (Pco2), and in serum bicarbonate (HCO3-).

Normal acid base values:

                                                               pH                  PCO2                HCO3-

                                 Range:              7.35- 7.45            36-44                22-26

                                 Optimal value      7.40                     40                     24

Classification: 

Metabolic acidosis is serum HCO3- <24 mEq / L. Causes are

Increased acid production

Acid ingestion

Decreased renal acid excretion

GI or renal HCO3-loss

Metabolic alkalosis is serum HCO3-> 24 mEq / L. Causes are

Acid loss

HCO3- retention

Respiratory acidosis is Pco2> 40 mm Hg (hypercapnia). Cause is

Decrease in minute ventilation (hypoventilation)

Respiratory alkalosis is Pco2 <40 mm Hg (hypocapnia). Cause is

Increase in minute ventilation (hyperventilation)

How Can Asthma Be Prevented?

Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing. Asthma can be controlled by taking medicine and avoiding the triggers that can cause an attack.

While there's no way to prevent asthma, by working together, you and your doctor can design a step-by-step plan for living with your condition and preventing asthma attacks.

• Follow your asthma action plan. With your doctor and health care team, write a detailed plan for taking medications and managing an asthma attack. Then be sure to follow your plan.
  Asthma is an ongoing condition that needs regular monitoring and treatment. Taking control of your treatment can make you feel more in control of your life in general.
• Get vaccinated for influenza and pneumonia. Staying current with vaccinations can prevent flu and pneumonia from triggering asthma flare-ups.
• Identify and avoid asthma triggers. A number of outdoor allergens and irritants — ranging from pollen and mold to cold air and air pollution — can trigger asthma attacks. Find out what causes or worsens your asthma, and take steps to avoid those triggers.
• Monitor your breathing. You may learn to recognize warning signs of an impending attack, such as slight coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath. But because your lung function may decrease before you notice any signs or symptoms, regularly measure and record your peak airflow with a home peak flow meter.
• Identify and treat attacks early. If you act quickly, you're less likely to have a severe attack. You also won't need as much medication to control your symptoms.
  When your peak flow measurements decrease and alert you to an oncoming attack, take your medication as instructed and immediately stop any activity that may have triggered the attack. If your symptoms don't improve, get medical help as directed in your action plan.
• Take your medication as prescribed. Just because your asthma seems to be improving, don't change anything without first talking to your doctor. It's a good idea to bring your medications with you to each doctor visit, so your doctor can double-check that you're using your medications correctly and taking the right dose.
• Pay attention to increasing quick-relief inhaler use. If you find yourself relying on your quick-relief inhaler, such as albuterol, your asthma isn't under control. See your doctor about adjusting your treatment.
• Testing Lung Function
  It's essential to monitor how well your asthma medications are working by testing your lung function regularly. You can use a peak flow meter to measure the amount of air flowing from your lungs. This self-administered test can reveal narrowing of the airways before the onset of symptoms.

  You can determine what triggers an asthma attack, when to stop or add medication, and when to seek emergency medical care by using a peak flow meter to establish some baseline measurements, and then regularly checking your peak flow rate.

What are the signs and symptoms of heat stroke or sun stroke?

What are the signs and symptoms of heat stroke or sun stroke?

Heat stroke, also known as sunstroke, is a serious medical condition, a medical emergency, when the body's temperature rises too high as a result of excessive heat exposure. The body loses its ability to cool itself and overheats.

The signs and symptoms of heat stroke may include:

• A high temperature; temperature higher than 104°F (40°C)
  
  Heat stroke may be diagnosed at lower temperatures. Also, some people may reach these temperatures and never develop heatstroke.


• Profuse sweating that abruptly stops - when the body cannot sweat any more, as may happen in cases of severe dehydration, the skin will become dry. Without perspiration the body has no way of cooling itself.


• Accelerated (weak) heartbeat.


• Hyperventilation. - rapid breathing, shallow panting.


• Muscle cramps.


• The skin becomes hot, dry and red.


• Nausea.


• Vomiting.


• Dark urine.

As the nervous system becomes affected, the following symptoms may emerge:

• Confusion
• Coordination problems
• Seizures (fits)
• Headache
• Vertigo, dizziness, lightheadedness - a sensation of spinning or moving when standing (vertigo)
• Anxiety
• Restlessness
• Hallucinations
• Irrational behavior
• Loss of consciousness.

What are the treatment options for heat stroke?

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you see somebody with heat stroke call for an ambulance straight away.

While you are waiting for the paramedics to come:

• Move the patient to a cool place, preferably air-conditioned. If one is not available, go to a shady area.


• Make sure the place is ventilated. Use a fan or open the windows (don't open windows if it is air-conditioned).


• Try to get them to drink water.


• Do not give any painkilling medications, such as ibuprofen, asprin or acetaminophen (paracetamol, Tylenol).


• If you can, place them in a cool (not cold) shower.


• If there is one, partly fill a bathtub with cool (not cold) water, sit the person in there and hydrate their skin. Do not fully immerse the person in the water until the paramedics arrive.
• To encourage blood circulation, gently massage their skin.


• If the person has a seizure, do not place anything in their mouth. Move nearby objects out of the way.
• If they are unconscious, place them in the recovery position 
  
  

  . If they have vomited, make sure there is no blockage that may affect breathing.

again but another form :

What to do

If you notice that someone has signs of heat exhaustion, you should:

• get them to lie down in a cool place – such as a room with air conditioning or somewhere in the shade
• remove any unnecessary clothing to expose as much of their skin as possible
• cool their skin –use whatever you have available, such as a cool, wet sponge or flannel, cold packs around the neck and armpits, or wrap them in a cool, wet sheet
• fan their skin while it's moist – this will help the water to evaporate, which will help their skin cool down
• get them to drink fluids – this should ideally be water, fruit juice or a rehydration drink, such as a sports drink

Stay with the person until they're feeling better. Most people should start to recover within 30 minutes.

If the person is unconscious, you should follow the steps above and place the person in the  recovery position until help arrives.

What is the recovery position?
call 911 immediately and give first aid until paramedics arrive.

Even if the casualty is breathing, but is unconscious, there is still a significant risk of airway obstruction. The recovery position minimizes the risk to the patient. A first aider should do the following:

• Remove glasses if the casualty is wearing them.


• Make sure his/her legs are straight.


• Place the arm that is nearest to you at right angles to the casualty's body (you are kneeling next to him/her).


• Bring the other arm across their chest; hold the back of his/her hand against his/her nearest cheek.


• With you other hand, hold the casualty's thigh that is furthest from you and pull up the knee. Make sure his/her foot is flat on the ground.


• Slowly pull down on the casualty's raised knee and roll him/her over towards you.


• Move the upper leg slightly so that the casualty's hip and knee are bent at right-angles. This makes sure they do not roll back onto their face.


• Gently tilt the head back so that the airway is kept open.

How H1N1 ... Signs & Symptoms

H1N1 flu is also known as swine flu. It's called swine flu because in the past, the people who caught it had direct contact with pigs. That changed several years ago, when a new virus emerged that spread among people who had not been near pigs.

In 2009, H1N1 was spreading fast around the world, so the World Health Organization called it a pandemic. Since then, people have continued to get sick from swine flu, but not as many

Signs & Symptoms:

Fever

Cough

Sore throat

Body Aches

Runny or stuffy nose

headache

Chills

Fatigue

Diarrhea

Vomiting

Walking is much preferable to running or jogging because it creates less stress on your joints, including hips, knees, and ankles. Remember to properly warm up

*Research has shown that the benefits of walking and moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day can help you:

ü Reduce the risk of coronary heart disease

ü Improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels

ü Improve blood lipid profile

ü Maintain body weight and lower the risk of obesity

ü Enhance mental well being

ü Reduce the risk of osteoporosis

ü Reduce the risk of breast and colon cancer

ü Reduce the risk of non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes

The impact of walking on mental health:

·        reduce physical symptoms of anxiety associated with minor stress.

·        increase self‐reported energy levels when older adults set their own pace.

·        improve sleep quality.

·        elevate affective response (e.g. pleasure), resulting in increased psychological well‐being for individuals

·        with type 2 diabetes.

·        be associated with better cognitive performance at school.

·        improve the cognitive functioning of older adults (compared to stretching and toning).

·        improve cognitive performance and reduce cognitive decline among older people.

·        increase the size of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, potentially beneficial for memory.
