Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
pH, pCO2, pO2 – Measured directly
HCO3-, O2 saturation (usually) – Calculated from pH,
pCO2, and pO2

Normal Arterial Blood Gas Values
pH 7.35 - 7.45
PaCO2 35-45 mmHg(4.7-6.0kpa)

Practical Approach
1. Check the pH
If the pH < 7.35 acidemia is present.
If the pH > 7.45 alkalemia is present.

Practical Approach
2. Check the pCO2
pH < 7.35 and pCO2 > 40 respiratory acidosis
pH > 7.45 and pCO2 < 40 respiratory alkalosis

17 year-old female patient while hyperventilating
(frequent, deep, sighing respiration to sustained, obvious,
rapid, deep breathing) fell unconscious to the floor. An
attending Physician diagnosed her condition as
"hyperventilation syndrome" caused by her anxiety and
mental stress. He successfully treated her by rebreathing
expired CO2 from a paper bag and she completely
recovered.
What happened to the acid-base balance in her body?

The patient described in above problem develops increasing
shortness of
breath, purulent sputum production, and increased weakness
requiring
emergency room visit. He appears to be in moderate respiratory
distress
peripheral cyanosis.

MALE, AGED 70 YEARS, WITH RESPIRATORYAND METABOLIC FAILURE DUE TO COPD. HE WAS
ADMITTED TO ICU AND MECHANICALLY VENTILATED

ON ADMISSION THIS PATIENT HAD A PARTIALLY
COMPENSATED RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS, i. e PCO2 AND
[HCO-3]. VENTILATION WAS OVER-ENTHUSIASTIC AND
PRODUCED A RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS (P CO2 <35).
