Normal pH 7.35-7.45


Normal CO2 35-45


Normal HCO3 22-26 (good dating age)

, Normal PaO2 80-100


Normal SaO2 > 95%


Base (deficit/excess) (-2) - (+2)


Buffer systems: Bicarb reaction time seconds


Buffer systems: Lungs reaction time minutes


Buffer systems: Kidneys reaction time hours to days


Minute volume calculation Tidal volume x respiratory rate


pCO2 >45 acidotic


pCO2 <35 alkalotic




HCO3 <22 acidotic


HCO3 >26 alkalotic


base deficit of < -4 indicator for the potential need for blood transfusion


base deficit of < -19 indicates poor outcome (death likely)


base deficit replacement formula 0.1 x (-BE) x patient weight in kg = bicarb needed


PO2 of 60 is roughly equivalent to a SaO2 of 90%


critical pH for intubation < 7.2


critical pCO2 for intubation > 55


critical pO2 for intubation < 60
