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 B:
A 36-year-old male was brought to the ER with muscle weakness
and increased respiratory distress. Diagnostic testing
reveals he is suffering from Myasthenia Gravis, a
neuromuscular disorder. An ABG analysis reveals the
following:
pH= 7.33
PaCO2=58 mmHg
HCO3= 29mEq/L
