ANSWER:
- pH 7.12 CO2 54 HCO3 24 PO2 58
Acid-Base Imbalance: non-compensated Respiratory acidosis with moderate hypoxemia
Disease Process: Hypoventilation due to pulmonary, cardiac, or neuromuscular disease
- pH 7.49 CO2 24 HCO3 20 PO2 67
Acid-Base Imbalance: Partially compensated respiratory alkalosis with mild hypoxemia
Disease Process: hyperventilation due to anxiety, pain, or improper ventilator settings
3.pH 7.31 CO2 35 HCO3 16 PO2 80
Acid-Base Imbalance: Non-compensated metabolic acidosis with normal oxygenation
Disease Process: Renal disease causing bicarbonate ions depletion
4.pH 7.52 CO2 48 HCO3 30 PO2 72
Acid-Base Imbalance: Partial compensated metabolic alkalosis with mild hypoxemia
Disease Process: Renal disease causing inadequate excretion of acids
5.pH 7.44 CO2 29 HCO3 20 PO2 85
Acid-Base Imbalance: Full compensated respiratory alkalosis with normal oxygenation
Disease Process: Hyperventilation due to anxiety, pain, or improper ventilator settings
6.pH 7.38 CO2 30 HCO3 18 PO2 75
Acid-Base Imbalance: Full compensated metabolic acidosis with mild hypoxemia
Disease Process: Bicarbonate ions depletion due to renal disease or severe diarrhoea and dehydration
- pH 7.01 CO2 84 HCO3 6 PO2 20
Acid-Base Imbalance: Non-compensated respiratory acidosis with severe hypoxemia
Disease Process: Hypoventilation due to pulmonary or cardiac diseases , hypoxia or shock
8.pH 7.48 CO2 65 HCO3 45 PO2 78
Acid-Base Imbalance: Partially compensated metabolic alkalosis with mild hypoxemia
Disease Process: Loss of potassium due to increased renal excretion as in diuretic therapy or inadequate excretion of acids due to renal disease
9.pH 7.38 CO2 42 HCO3 22 PO2 88
Acid-Base Imbalance: full compensated metabolic acidosis with normal oxygenation
Disease Process: severe diarrhoea, dehydration, or diabetic acidosis,
10.pH 6.98 CO2 40 HCO3 16 PO2 68
Acid-Base Imbalance: Non-compensated metabolic acidosis with moderate hypoxemia
Disease Process: Excessive production of organic acids due to hepatic disease
