  • Antibiotics - used to treat infection
  • Diuretics - used to reduce excess fluid affecting the heart and lungs
  • Bronchodilators - used to expand the airways
  • Corticosteroids - used to reduce inflammation

  • The lung can’t remove enough of the CO2 in the body because of the decrease is respiratory rate of air movement due to an underlying condition, leading to a an inefficient gas exchange 
  • The pH of blood then falls below normal (7.35).

The lungs exhale CO2 out of the body, and the kidneys filter out the acids through urine, and regulate your blood's concentration of bicarbonate. ]]> 2018-03-14 18:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sashakapadia/n5m26ty1x4h2/wish/242048517
