Question: 3. Suggest A Possible Cause. For Example, A Cause Of Chronic Respiratory Acidosis Is Emphysema Practice Problem 1 AG’s PH7 31 PCO, 5 Tin Hg HCO 2B MEq/L ANSWER: 1. Normal Values For ABG’s • PH Range 735 – 745 • Carbon Dioxide Partial Pressure, 35-45 Mm Hg • Bicarbonate, 24-28 MEq/L 2. PH Is Too Low-acidosis: PCO, Is Too High, Would Cause Acidosis …

3. Suggest a possible cause. For example, a cause of chronic respiratory acidosis is emphysema Practice Problem 1 AG’s PH7 31 PCO, 5 Tin Hg HCO 2B mEq/L ANSWER: 1. Normal values for ABG’s • pH range 735 – 745 • carbon dioxide partial pressure, 35-45 mm Hg • bicarbonate, 24-28 mEq/L 2. pH is too low-acidosis: PCO, is too high, would cause acidosis or correct alkalos HCO is normal, neither cousing nor correcting imbalance 3. high PCO2 is correlated with low pH, which is consistent with patient’s report 4. becouse PCO, is causing the problem, this is respiratory acidosis, because bicarbonate is normal, there is no compensation 5. possible cause cardiac arrest Practice Problem 2 (Answers below) ABG’s pH 7.31 PCO, 55 mm Hg HCO 35 mEq/L Practice Problem 3 ABG’s pH 7 31 PCO, 35 mm Hg HCO3 20 mEq/L Practice Problem 4 ABG’s pH 731 PCO2 25 mm Hg HCO320 mEq/L வா Practice Problem 5 secde CBIOLOGY
