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,  what would the expected pH be if the PaCO2 is 30 mmHg?

The results are as follows: FiO2 0.21 pH 7.33 PaCO2 55 mmHg PaO2 105 mmHg HCO3- 24 mEq/L The data indicates which of the following?

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?

Which of the following is/are true about the relationship between chloride (Cl–) and bicarbonate HCO3– in acid-base balance?1. For each Cl– ion excreted into the urine, the blood gains an HCO3– ion.2. Blood Cl– and HCO3– ion levels are reciprocally related.3. People with chronically high CO2 tend to have low blood Cl– levels.4. Activation of the NH3 buffer system enhances Cl– gain and HCO3 loss.

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. 4. Oxygenation Status. pH 7.30 PaCO2 31 PaO2 77 HCO3 19 BE -8

A patient has a PCO2 of 60 mm Hg. What is the concentration of dissolved CO2 (in mmol/L) in the blood?

Interpret the following ABG results: FiO2 0.21 pH 7.36 PaCO2 57 mmHg PaO2 85 mmHg HCO3- 32 mEq/L

A 17 year old girl is brought to the ED by paramedics.  Her mother states she is a diabetic.  Room air ABGs reveal the following: pH 7.26 PaCO2 16 mmHg PaO2 110 mmHg HCO3- 8 mEq/L This information indicates which of the following? 1.  Partly compensated metabolic acidosis is present 2.  This PaO2 is not possible on room air 3.  Respiratory alkalosis is present
