If you didn't read parts 1 and 2, start there.
More examples of ABG lab results.
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
PaCO2 35-45 mmHg
HCO3- 22-26 mEq/L
