Study Notes

Acid-Base Balance Interpretations

pH indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the blood; normal range is typically 7.35-7.45.
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) reflects respiratory function; normal range is about 35-45 mmHg.
Partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) and oxygen saturation (O2Sat) measure oxygen levels in the blood; normal PO2 is 75-100 mmHg and O2Sat is 95-100%.
Bicarbonate (HCO3) is a metabolic component; normal range is 22-26 mEq/L.

Uncompensated Respiratory Conditions

Respiratory Alkalosis:
- pH 7.52, PCO2 31 mmHg, hypoxemia with PO2 60 mmHg.
Respiratory Acidosis:
- pH 7.28, PCO2 52 mmHg, hypoxemia with PO2 55 mmHg.

Uncompensated Metabolic Conditions

Metabolic Alkalosis:
- pH 7.48, HCO3 38 mEq/L, PCO2 normal at 37 mmHg.
Metabolic Acidosis:
- pH 7.22, HCO3 19 mEq/L, PCO2 normal at 41 mmHg.

Partially Compensated Conditions

Respiratory Alkalosis with Hypoxemia:
- pH 7.46, PCO2 26 mmHg, hypoxemia with PO2 63 mmHg, HCO3 low at 14 mEq/L.
