ABG Part 2 [respiratory alkalosis]
07:19 Share

Today, we'll be going over part 2 of 4 of the acid base disorders. 

As a recap, what is normal? 

Well, a normal pH is 7.35 - 7.45

If the pH is 7.45 then we have alkalemia.

A normal bicarbonate is 22-26 and a normal pCO2 is 35-45. 

In today's podcast we are going to tackle respiratory acidosis, partial vs complete compensation, and we'll show you what to look for to see if there is a co-existing acid/base disorder.
