Coagulation studies should indicate decreased fibrinogen and prothrombin, while ABG/VBG should show metabolic acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, and elevated lactate levels. ECG should show variety of ...
A person with a pH imbalance may have high acid levels, called “acidosis,” or high bases, known as “alkalosis.” A pH imbalance is a serious concern and indicates an underlying health ...
During metabolic alkalosis, the threshold to ventricular fibrillation increased. In contrast, similar variations in pH owing to respiratory acidosis and alkalosis did not affect the ventricular ...
