airway)

ACID BASE GASES

A. ABG Interpretation

a. Rule of the B’s

i. If the pH and the 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 Bicarb= 22-26

c. PaO2= 80-100 mmHg

d. PaCO2= 35-45 mmHg
