ACIDIC BASE GASES
A. ABG interpretation
a. Rule of B's
i. If the pH and BICARB (HCO3)
ii. Are BOTH in the same direction,
iii. Then it is METABOLIC
b. pH acidosis
c. pH alkaline
B. Values
a. Normal pH 7.35 – 7.45
b. Normal bicarbonate 22-26
c. PaO2 80-100 mmHg
PaCO2 35-45 mmHg
SaO2 95-100%
C. Signs and symptoms of acid-base imbalance
a. As the pH value changes, so does the patient, with the exception of potassium (because it
will try to compensate
