If you didn't read parts 1 and 2, start there. More examples of ABG lab results.
| Lab 1 | Interpretation | Lab 2 | Interpretation | Lab 3 | Interpretation | Lab 4 | Interpretation | pH | 7.52 | base | 7.31 | acid | 7.30 | acid | 7.42 | normal | PaCO2 | 37 | normal | 39 | normal | 49 | acid | 41 | normal | HCO3- | 32 | base | 20 | acid | 30 | base | 25 | normal |
Lab 1-uncompensated metabolic alkalosis Lab 2-uncompensated metabolic acidosis Lab 3-partially compensated respiratory acidosis Lab 4-normal. Things are good. Normal values pH 7.35-6.45 PaCO 2 35-45 mmHg HCO 3- 22-26 mEq/L
