Reading an ABG analysis report may be as cumbersome as drawing blood for ABG analysis. We ll help u diagnose the derangement in ABG in a simplistic way without having to depend on the ICU doctor or Consultant. Let's Get Started..! The diagnosis is primarily divided into 3 parts. Acidosis/Alkalosis Metabolic/Respiratory Compensatory Changes First is the pH <7.35-Acidosis >7.35-Alkalosis Next is CO2 and HCO3 Quick Fact: CO2 is the Respiratory Component HCO3 is the Metabolic Component PaCO2: Normal Value :35-45 mmHg/ 4.7-6kPa Remember this Golden Rule CO2 is an acidic gas. Its conc is increased in acidosis and decreased in alkalosis. If the above statement is satisfied, then it is Respiratory without any compensation. For example if pH is 7.2- acidosis, so CO2 should be raised, if it is raised, then it is Respiratory Acidosis. If pH is 7.5-alkalosis, CO2 should be low, if it is low, then it is Respiratory alkalosis. HCO3: Normal value:22-28mmol/L Here the Gol
