ABG Normal Values and Compensation by scribdnotes123 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
What is ABG Normal Values and Compensation about?
The document lists normal values for ABG measurements including pH, PCO2, PO2, and HCO3. It then describes the respiratory and metabolic compensation patterns seen in metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis, and respiratory alkalosis. Specifically, it notes that in metabolic acidosis, for every bicarbonate lost, 1.2 mmHg of CO2 will be lost through respiratory compensation. In respiratory acidosis, for every CO2 retained through respiratory acidosis, 1 bicarbonate is gained in acute me
