Arterial Blood Gas Interpretation Worksheet

ANSWER KEY 1. pH 7.45 PaCO2 30 HCO3 19 Interpretation: Fully compensated respiratory alkalosis pH – normal – alkalosis (greater than 7.40) PaCO2 – alkalosis HCO3 – acidosis **Fully compensated because the pH is normal while the PaCO2 and the HCO3 are abnormal. 2. pH 7.36 PaCO2 43 HCO3 22 Interpretation: WNL (Corrected)

3. pH 7.52 PaCO2 43 HCO3 31 Interpretation: Metabolic alkalosis/Uncompensated metabolic alkalosis pH – alkalosis PaCO2 – normal HCO3 – alkalosis **Uncompensated as the pH and either the PaCO2 or HCO3 are abnormal, but not both

4. pH 7.31 PaCO2 47 HCO3 28 Interpretation: Respiratory acidosis / partially compensated respiratory acidosis pH – acidosis PaCO2 – acidosis HCO3 – alkalosis **Partially compensated as the pH and the PaCO2 and HCO3 are both abnormal. 5. pH 7.3 PaCO2 72 HCO3 24 Interpretation: Respiratory acidosis / uncompensated respiratory acidosis (may see written either way, both mean the same thing) pH – acidosis PaCO2 – acidosis HCO3 – normal **Uncompensated as the pH and either the PaCO2 or HCO3 are abnormal, but not both. 6. pH 7.35 PaCO2 28 HCO3 18 Interpretation: Fully compensated metabolic acidosis pH – normal, acidosis (less than 7.40) PaCO2 – alkalosis HCO3 – acidosis **Fully compensated because the pH is normal while the PaCO2 and the HCO3 are abnormal.

7. pH 7.51 PaCO2 28 HCO3 23 Interpretation: Respiratory alkalosis / Uncompensated respiratory alkalosis (may see written either way, both mean the same thing) pH – alkalosis PaCO2 – alkalosis HCO3 – normal **Uncompensated as the pH and either the PaCO2 or HCO3 are abnormal, but not both. 8. pH 7.35 PaCO2 65 HCO3 31 Interpretation: Fully compensated respiratory acidosis pH – normal, acidosis (less than 7.40) PaCO2 – acidosis HCO3 – alkalosis **Fully compensated because the pH is normal while the PaCO2 and the HCO3 are abnormal. 9. pH 7.26 PaCO2 45 HCO3 16 Interpretation: Metabolic acidosis / uncompensated metabolic acidosis (may see written either way, both mean the same thing) pH – acidosis PaCO2 – normal HCO3 – acidosis **Uncompensated as the pH and either the PaCO2 or HCO3 are abnormal, but not both

10.

pH 7.49 PaCO2 42 HCO3 29

Interpretation: Metabolic alkalosis / uncompensated metabolic alkalosis (may see written either way, both mean the same thing) pH – alkalosis PaCO2 – normal HCO3 – alkalosis **Uncompensated as the pH and either the PaCO2 or HCO3 are abnormal, but not both 11.

pH 7.47 PaCO2 28 HCO3 20

Interpretation: Respiratory alkalosis / partially compensated respiratory alkalosis pH – alkalosis PaCO2 – alkalosis HCO3 – acidosis **Partially compensated as the pH and the PaCO2 and HCO3 are both abnormal. 12.

pH 7.3 PaCO2 59 HCO3 24

Interpretation: Respiratory acidosis / uncompensated respiratory acidosis (may see written either way, both mean the same thing) pH – acidosis PaCO2 – acidosis HCO3 – normal **Uncompensated as the pH and either the PaCO2 or HCO3 are abnormal, but not both 13.

pH 7.44 PaCO2 53 HCO3 31

Interpretation: Fully compensated metabolic alkalosis pH – normal, alkalosis (greater than 7.40) PaCO2 – acidosis HCO3 – alkalosis **Fully compensated because the pH is normal while the PaCO2 and the HCO3 are abnormal. 14.

pH 7.39 PaCO2 42 HCO3 23

Interpretation: WNL (Corrected) 15.

pH 7.31 PaCO2 36 HCO3 18

Interpretation: Metabolic acidosis / uncompensated metabolic acidosis pH – acidosis PaCO2 – normal HCO3 – acidosis **Uncompensated as the pH and either the PaCO2 or HCO3 are abnormal, but not both 16.

pH 7.17 PaCO2 89 HCO3 22

Interpretation: Respiratory acidosis / uncompensated respiratory acidosis pH – acidosis PaCO2 – acidosis HCO3 – normal **Uncompensated as the pH and either the PaCO2 or HCO3 are abnormal, but not both...
