Ph = 7.39

PaO2 = 67 mmHg

PaCO2 = 66

HCO3- = 30

@ 21% FIO2

• Fully Compensated Respiratory Acidosis with Uncorrected Hypoxemia

• Fully Compensated Metabolic Alkalosis with Mild Hypoxemia

• Fully Compensated Respiratory Acidosis with Moderate Hypoxemia

• Fully Compensated Metabolic Alkalosis with Uncorrected Hypoxemia

What is the condition when you compensate by hyperventilating?

• Respiratory Acidosis

• Metabolic Acidosis

• Respiratory Alkalosis

• Metabolic Alkalosis

Ph = 7.46

HCO3- = 24

PaO2 = 77

PaCO2 = 30

No Modality Used

• Uncompensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Moderate Hypoxemia

• Uncompensated Respiratory Acidosis with Moderate Hypoxemia

• Partially Compensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Mild Hypoxemia

• Uncompensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Mild Hypoxemia

What is the body's compensation when having Respiratory Acidosis?

• The kidney's excretes HCO3-

• Your lungs will hyperventilate

• The kidney's will reabsorb HCO3-

• Your lungs will hypoventilate

Your body is compensating by excreting HCO3- out from the body. What is the condition that induced this compensation?

• Respiratory Alkalosis

• Respiratory Acidosis

• Metabolic Alkalosis

• Metabolic Acidosis

Ph = 7.33

PaO2 = 107

PaCO2 = 30

HCO3- = 19

@Nasal Cannula 5LpM

• Partially Compensated Respiratory Acidosis with Overly Corrected Hypoxemia

• Partially Compensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Overly Corrected Hypoxemia

• Partially Compensated Metabolic Alkalosis with Overly Corrected Hypoxemia

• Partially Compensated Metabolic Acidosis with Overly Corrected Hypoxemia

pH = 7.4

PaO2 = 88

PaCO2 = 39

HCO3- = 24

• Normal

• Fully Compensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Mild Hypoxemia

• Uncompensated Metabolic Alkalosis with No Hypoxemia

• Fully Compensated Respiratory Acidosis with Mild Hypoxemia

You have been diagnosed with Metabolic Alkalosis. How will your body compensate for it?

• Reabsorb HCO3-

• Hypoventilate

• Excrete HCO3-

• Hyperventilate

Your patient is connected to nasal cannula at 2 Lpm. You took an ABG and found out that the pH is at 7.5, the PaCO2 is at 32, and the HCO3- is at 26. The PaO2 of the patient was 47. How do you interprets the patient's condition?

• Partially Compensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Uncorrected Hypoxemia

• Uncompensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Moderate Hypoxemia

• Uncompensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Uncorrected Hypoxemia

• Partially Compensated Respiratory Alkalosis with Moderate Hypoxemia

pH = 7.3

HCO3- = 29

PaCO2 = 48

PaO2 = 71

@ 21% FIO2

• Partially Compensated Respiratory Acidosis with Moderate Hypoxemia

• Partially Compensated Metabolic Alkalosis with Mild Hypoxemia

• Partially Compensated Metabolic Alkalosis with Moderate Hypoxemia

• Partially Compensated Respiratory Acidosis with Mild Hypoxemia
