  1. 1. Addison's disease can lead to this type of acidosis
  2. 6. A pH of 7.25 indicates
  3. 7. The process by which extremely elevated white blood cells in a test tube continue to consume glucose and oxygen
  4. 11. The gas that makes a calculated sO2 measurement unreliable
  5. 13. In respiratory acidosis primary compensation means the kidneys excrete this
  6. 16. This is the primary compensation for metabolic acidosis
Down
  1. 2. A circulating protein that acts as an important blood pH buffer
  2. 3. Aspirin or other drug stimulators will lead to this type of alkalosis
  3. 4. In respiratory alkalosis primary compensation involves the kidneys releasing this
  4. 5. This is the primary compensation for metabolic alkalosis
  5. 8. The ABG RR of 35-45 mmHg is for partial pressure of
  6. 9. Alkalosis will shift the primary oxygen curve in this direction
  7. 10. This is the primary buffer system in the urine
  8. 12. The direction in which pO2 and pH move when an ABG is exposed to room air
  9. 14. The pO2 electrode measures the production of this as O2 is reduced
  10. 15. A pH of 7.5 indicates
