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
