Question

Using the normal arterial blood gas values (pH = 7.35-7.45; Paco2 = 35-45 mm Hg; HCO3- = 22-26 mEq/L), identify both the primary disturbance and the degree of compensation for these three arterial blood gas readings:

(a) pH = 7.20

(b) pH = 7.20 (c) pH = 7.36 Paco2 = 35 mm Hg Paco2 = 25 mm Hg Paco2 = 20 mm Hg [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/L [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/L [HCO3-] = 17 mEq/L
