Check pH on ABG

pH<7.35=Acidosis

pH>7.45=Alkalosis

Check PaCO2

PaCO2 > 45mm Hg = Respiratory acidosis Primary cause: hypoventilation

PaCO2 Normal or > 35mm Hg = Metabolic acidosis

Check PaCO2

PaCO2 > 45mm Hg = Metabolic alkalosis

PaCO2<35mm Hg = Respiratory alkalosis Primary cause: hyperventilation

HCO3- > 29 eg. vomiting

Check HCO3-

Normal or slight decrease = Acute respiratory alkalosis eg. fever, panic attack

Decreased < 24 = Chronic respiratory alkalosis eg. Anemia, CNS causes
