Overview
Patients with Metabolic alkalosis usually appear restless, irritable. Physical examination of patients with metabolic alkalosis is usually remarkable for tachycardia/dysrhythmia, hypoxemia, Hypoxemia, Compensatory hypoventilation, Muscle cramps, Tremor, tingling and numbness in extremities, Weakness.
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with metabolic alkalosis is usually remarkable for : tachycardia/dysrhythmia, hypoxemia, Hypoxemia, Compensatory hypoventilation, Muscle cramps, Tremor, tingling and numbness in extremities, Weakness.
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with metabolic alkalosis usually appear Restlessness/ Irritable/lethargic.
Vital Signs
- High-grade / low-grade fever
- Hypothermia may present in hypovolemic conditions, hyperthermia may be seen endocrine or infectious causes.
- Tachycardia with regular pulse.
- Compensatory Bradypnea.
- High/low blood pressure depending on causes of metabolic alkalosis
Skin
- Skin examination of patients with metabolic alkalosis is usually:
- Decreased or normal turgor
- Cool and clammy in hypovolemic condition
- Pallor
HEENT
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Dry oral mucosa without tonsillar swelling, exudates, and/or petechiae
Neck
- Jugular venous distension or Flat JVD depending on causes.
- Carotid bruits may or may not be auscultated unilaterally/bilaterally using the bell/diaphragm of the stethoscope
Lungs
- Hypoxemia
- Compensatory hypoventilation
- Pulmonary microatelactasis
- Increased V/Q mismatch
Heart
- Tachycardia
- Dysarrythmia
- CHF findings
Abdomen
Abdominal examination of patients with metabolic alkalosis is usually depends on the causes.
Back
- Back examination of patients with metabolic alkalosis is usually normal.
Genitourinary
- Urine output and frequency should be measured.
Neuromuscular
- Confusion
- Loss of consciousness/Mental obtundation, *Neuromuscular excitability/Muscle cramps, *Tremor
Extremities
- Tingling and numbness in extremities, *Weakness
