ABG INTERPRETATION

Solving Number 1:

pCo2 = 20 mmHg; HCO3 = 5 mEq/L; po2 = 70 mmHg

What is the pH?

Solving Number 1:

pCo2 = 20 mmHg; HCO3 = 5 mEq/L; po2 = 70 mmHg

What is the Primary Disorder?

Solving Number 1:

pCo2 = 20 mmHg; HCO3 = 5 mEq/L; po2 = 70 mmHg

What is the Compensatory Disorder?

Solving Number 1:

pCo2 = 20 mmHg; HCO3 = 5 mEq/L; po2 = 70 mmHg

What is the Degree of Compensation?

Solving Number 1:

pCo2 = 20 mmHg; HCO3 = 5 mEq/L; po2 = 70 mmHg

What is the Degree of Oxygenation?

Solving Number 1:

pCo2 = 20 mmHg; HCO3 = 5 mEq/L; po2 = 70 mmHg

What is the Final Interpretation?
