Using the ABG interpretation “made easy” rule of thumb,  what would the expected pH be if the PaCO2 is 68 mmHg?

What is the most common cause of hyperventilation respiratory alkalosis?

A patient with an opiate drug overdose is unconscious and exhibits the following blood gas results breathing room air: pH = 7.19; PCO2 = 79; HCO3– = 27; PO2 = 48. Which of the following best describes this patient’s condition?

A patient with a measured plasma HCO3– concentration of 24 mmol/L has an episode of acute hypoventilation, with the PCO2 rising from 40 to 50 mm Hg. What do you predict will happen acutely to the plasma HCO3– concentration?

In order to eliminate the influence of PCO2 changes on plasma HCO3– concentrations, what additional measures of the metabolic component of acid-base balance can be used?

Using the ABG interpretation “made easy” rule of thumb,  If pH is 7. 34 and the PaCO2 is 34 mmHg, What would most likely be ABG interpretation?  Please pick one of each section that apply for your ABG Interpretation. 1.  Compensation Status if any. 2. Which is the primary system disturbance if any. 3.  Acid-Base Status if any.

Using the ABG interpretation “made easy” rule of thumb,  if pH is 7. 36 and the PaCO2 is 48 mmHg, what direction would the metabolic system be?
