and pH 7.1. What is the underlying acid-base disorder?
a) Metabolic Acidosis
b) Metabolic Alkalosis
c) Respiratory Acidosis
d) Respiratory Alkalosis.
Answer: a) Metabolic Acidosis
◉ Q.2- In a man undergoing surgery, it was necessary to aspirate the
contents of the upper gastrointestinal tract. After surgery, the
following values were obtained from an arterial blood sample: pH

coughing, suffocated and unable to breathe!" What could be the
possible reason?
