Case #4 Dillon is a 55 lb., 6-year-old male who fell into a fresh water lake while duck hunting with his father. Dillon was unaccounted for 15-20 minutes until his body was found floating face down in the water. He was immediately pulled out and basic life support was started. Upon arrival at the hospital, his ABG results were as follows: pH = 6.90; P.O₂ = 49 mmHg; PCO₂ = 54 mmHg; and HCO3 = 24 mEq/L. 1. What is Dillon's acid-base disturbance? acid nam TPCO₂ HLU 2. What is the specific cause of his acid-base disturbance? Explain your answer. 3. In the hospital, ventilatory support is provided with PEEP (positive end- expiratory pressure) and Dillon's latest ABG are: PO₂ = 88 mmHg, CO₂ = 38 mmHg, HCO3 = 10 mE/L, pH = 6.99. What would you attribute his current acid/base status to? Explain.
