A full-term male newborn who was delivered via repeat cesarean delivery and whose mother had diabetes mellitus. In order to identify potential RDS risk factors, the maternal history must be examined. Male gender, cesarean birth without prior labor, and maternal diabetes, which results in high levels of insulin that impede the formation of surfactant, are risk factors for the term infant that place the infant at greatest danger.

<h3>What is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)?</h3>
  • When a baby is born early (prematurely), their lungs are not fully matured, which causes respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). A baby is more likely to develop RDS and require additional oxygen and assistance breathing the earlier in life they are born.
  • RDS is brought on by the infant's lungs not producing adequate surfactant. At around week 26 of pregnancy, the lungs begin to produce a liquid called surfactant. The lungs produce more surfactant as the fetus develops.

Recovery from a severe metabolic acidosis is most dependent on which of the following?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Recovery from a severe metabolic acidosis is most dependent on which of the following? would be, D: Arterial pH.

Explanation:

When a person reaches such a severe situation, as having metabolic acidosis, then it means that his body systems are not being able to use the mechanisms to restore the normal acid-base balance within it. Normally, a person needs to have an acid-base balance of 7.35 to 7.45. Drops below or above these numbers will result in acidosis or alkalosis and in severe problems. The way that the body can tell if there is something going on with the pH levels in the blood is through a series of chemoreceptors, especially in the neck, that constantly measures the amount of CO2 molecules in the blood and especially, the pH (acidity or alkalinity) given by the excessive presence, or absence, of acids in the blood. There is another ration that is important for the body, and it is the presence of bicarbonate ions, which will help balance out the amount of H+ ions produced by normal cell function, or increased cell function. In metabolic acidosis, the amount of H+ vs. bicarbonate ions is immense, H+ winning by far over bicarnonate, and a series of steps are taken by the body to restore the 20:1 ratio, and especially return the pH to its normal range. All mechanisms point towards that one measure: pH. Once the level of pH has been reached, we can tell a person is finally coming out of metabolic, or recovering from, metabolic acidosis.
