A person who has a blood pH below 7.35 is considered to be in physiological acidosis, and a continuous blood pH below 7.0 can be fatal. Acidosis has several symptoms, including headache and confusion, and the individual can become lethargic and easily fatigued. A person who has a blood pH above 7.45 is considered to be in alkalosis, and a pH above 7.8 is fatal.

If tissue hypoxia is present, then the use of bicarbonate may be particularly disadvantageous due to increased lactate production (removal of acidotic inhibition of glycolysis) and the impairment of tissue oxygen unloading (left shift of ODC due increased pH).

It outlines learning objectives for understanding the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and nursing care for acid-base imbalances. It discusses the function of kidneys and lungs in maintaining acid-base balance, the role of arterial blood gases (ABG) in diagnosis, and how imbalances like metabolic and respiratory acidosis and alkalosis are identified and treated.
