If my patient is overventilating I
Respiratory Alkalosis
should choose?
If my patient is underventilating I
Respiratory Acidosis
should choose?
, If my patient has prolonged
gastric vomiting or suction I Metabolic Alkalosis
choose?
If it is not lung or prolonged
Metabolic Acidosis
vomiting or suctioning I choose?
Metabolic Acidosis ( Remember
Kussmal Respirations
MacKussmal
Allen's test. Should be positive. Pt makes
a fist and pressure is applied to the ulnar
Before measuing ABGs you and the radial arteries Ulnar pressure is

seconds (means it's positive and OK to
take ABG's).
PH is normal! It is never

acidosis.
If PH normal Then look at Bicarb & figure out which is abnormal. If
Bicarb is out of range, it's metabolic acidosis.
If C02 is abnormal, it's Respiratory Acidosis :)
Pick the symptom where everything
is DOWN. ( And vice Versa)
If your pt is acidotic and you need
to pick a symptom
Ex: 2 degree Morbitz Type 2
BLOCK. <---- Down direction
If you don't know what causes an

acid base balance, pick
Headache, nausea, weakness &
If in doubt in ABGs, always pick numbness+ tingling. It can be
either up or down.
