MindMap Gallery Pathophysiology - Acid-base balance disorder
Do you know that the diagnosis and treatment of acid-base balance disorders are much more complicated than imagined? Acid-base balance disorders are divided into simple and mixed, including metabolic acidosis and respiratory alkalosis. Indicators such as pH, PaCO2, bicarbonate, etc. are the key to diagnosis, but sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between respiratory or metabolic disorders. Acute respiratory acidosis is usually decompensated, the pH may be normal, and it is difficult to determine. Mixed acid-base balance disorders such as acid-base-based acupuncture and alkali-based acupuncture are more challenging to treat. Understanding the source, homeostasis and compensation regulation mechanism of acid and alkali substances is crucial for prevention and treatment. Only by mastering this knowledge can we better deal with complex acid-base balance disorders.
Edited at 2025-03-10 15:35:42Rumi: 10 dimensions of spiritual awakening. When you stop looking for yourself, you will find the entire universe because what you are looking for is also looking for you. Anything you do persevere every day can open a door to the depths of your spirit. In silence, I slipped into the secret realm, and I enjoyed everything to observe the magic around me, and didn't make any noise. Why do you like to crawl when you are born with wings? The soul has its own ears and can hear things that the mind cannot understand. Seek inward for the answer to everything, everything in the universe is in you. Lovers do not end up meeting somewhere, and there is no parting in this world. A wound is where light enters your heart.
Chronic heart failure is not just a problem of the speed of heart rate! It is caused by the decrease in myocardial contraction and diastolic function, which leads to insufficient cardiac output, which in turn causes congestion in the pulmonary circulation and congestion in the systemic circulation. From causes, inducement to compensation mechanisms, the pathophysiological processes of heart failure are complex and diverse. By controlling edema, reducing the heart's front and afterload, improving cardiac comfort function, and preventing and treating basic causes, we can effectively respond to this challenge. Only by understanding the mechanisms and clinical manifestations of heart failure and mastering prevention and treatment strategies can we better protect heart health.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a phenomenon that cellular function and metabolic disorders and structural damage will worsen after organs or tissues restore blood supply. Its main mechanisms include increased free radical generation, calcium overload, and the role of microvascular and leukocytes. The heart and brain are common damaged organs, manifested as changes in myocardial metabolism and ultrastructural changes, decreased cardiac function, etc. Prevention and control measures include removing free radicals, reducing calcium overload, improving metabolism and controlling reperfusion conditions, such as low sodium, low temperature, low pressure, etc. Understanding these mechanisms can help develop effective treatment options and alleviate ischemic injury.
