If the pH & the bicarb are both in the same direction = metabolic If they are in different directions = respiratory pH = 7.35- 7.45 acidosis/ alkalosis HCO3 (bicarb) = 22- 26 (2+2+ 2 = 6) CO2 = 45- 35 ex: pH: 7.30 = ↓ bicarb: 20 = ↓ = metabolic acidosis ex: pH: 7.58 =↑ bicarb: 32 = ↑ = metabolic alkalosis ex: pH: 7.22 =↓ bicarb: 30 =↑ = respiratory acidosis ex: You are providing care to a client with the following blood gas results: pH 7.32, CO2 49, HCO3 29, PO2 80 & SaO2 90%. Based on the results, the client is experiencing: ↓ = acidosis, ↑ = respiratory -opioid: CNS depressant.. know the symptoms ( sedation, respiratory depression, etc).. * principle: acid base signs/symptoms...
