One novel way to retain thermal energy collected by a solar tower is through a mixture of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and calcium nitrate. This method is often referred to as "molten ______." What dinner table-sounding word fills in the blank? We now know the pH and whether the underlying problem is metabolic or respiratory in nature from the CO 2 level. Question: What is the value of the mathematical constant 'e', to the nearest two decimal places? It is called Euler's number. The underlying cause of the metabolic acidosis, in this case, is diabetic ketoacidosis.

Tabletop role playing games often require a set of dice with different numbers of sides. How many sides are on the die mathematicians would identify as a "dodecahedron?" Question: Which Star Trek film featured the first fully computer-created sequence in movie history? Because a portion of both hydrogen ions and calcium are bound to serum albumin, when blood becomes alkalotic, the bound hydrogen ions dissociate from albumin, freeing up the albumin to bind with more calcium and thereby decreasing the freely ionized portion of total serum calcium leading to hypocalcaemia.

At this point, prior to assessing the CO 2, you already know the pH and the PaO 2. So for example, you may know your patient’s pH is abnormal but you don’t yet know the underlying cause. It could be caused by the respiratory system (abnormal level of CO 2) or it could be metabolically driven (abnormal level of HCO 3-).

A high base excess (> +2mmol/L) indicates that there is a higher than normal amount of HCO 3– in the blood, which may be due to a primary metabolic alkalosis or a compensated respiratory acidosis. There is no evidence of metabolic compensation of the respiratory alkalosis (which would involve a lowered HCO 3-) suggesting that this derangement is relatively acute (as metabolic compensation takes a few days to develop).
