Clinically assess the acid-base and oxygenation status of each
patient below:
Step 1: Categorize the pH
Step 2: Determine Respiratory Involvement
Step 3: Determine Metabolic Involvement
Step 4: Assess for Compensation
Conclusion: Name your findings

Identify primary and secondary issue.

Treatment required.
Patient A:
A 48-year-old female is admitted to the hospital with
muscle weakness and increasing respiratory distress.
Diagnostic testing reveals she is suffering from
Guillan-Barre, a neuromuscular disorder. An ABG analysis
reveals the following:
pH=7.31
PaCO2=61mmHg
HCO3=30 mEq/L
