SpO2 |90%=PaO2 |60



PaCO2 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-35-45



respiratory |acidosis |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-low |pH, |high |CO2



causes: |CNS |depression |from |drugs |such |as |sedation, |injury, |or |disease



breathe |too |slow, |retaining |CO2



respiratory |alkalosis |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-high |pH, |low |CO2

,causes: |pain, |fever, |sepsis



breathe |too |fast, |not |retaining |enough |CO2



HCO3 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-22-26



metabolic |acidosis |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-low |pH, |low |HCO3



causes: |diarrhea, |DKA, |hyperkalemia



metabolic |alkalosis |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-high |pH, |high |HCO3
