In the following ABG, is it Respiratory or Metabolic; normal, acid, or alkaline. compensated, uncompensated, partially compensated.
pH 7.35
pCO2 50
HCO3 29
It is compensated respiratory acidosis.
Ph is normal, Paco2 >45, and Hco3 >26 indicates compensatory respiratory acidosis.
If pH is <7.35 also then it considered as partially compensated.
If pH is <7.35 and Hco3 is normal it considered as acute respiratory acidosis.
Normal value are PH = 7.35-7.45, Paco2 =35-45mmhg,
Paco2=80-95mmhg, Hco3= 22-26mEq/liter, O2 saturation = 95-99%.
