    ABG Interpretation Made Easy

    Remember this chart above and the

    Ph comes first Normal Value is 7.35 – 7.45


    Less than < 7.35 is Acid,
    Greater than > 7.45 is Base

    PaCO2 comes Second hence he 2 in PaCO2. PaCO2 Represents the Lungs


    Normal Value is 35 – 45 (7 goes to heaven using Ph as
    reference).
    Less than < 35 is Base
    Greater than > 45 is Acid,

    (Bi Carb) HCO3 come Thirds hence the 3 in HCO3.


    Normal Value is 22 – 26
    Less than < 22 is Acid,
    Greater than > 26 is Base
    Step 1
    pH comes First

    Step 2 Match pH with a partner


    Example: pH is 7.2 and PCO2 50 HCO3 23

    Ph Match with PaCO2 making it Respiratory Acidosis


    Step 3-A Compensated or Uncompensated

    Ph Match PaCO2 making it Respiratory Acidosis no movement with HCO3 which makes
    this Uncompensated Respiratory Acidosis

    Step 3-B Fully Compensated or Partially Compensated

    The body will try to balance Acid and Base to return to a Normal State like a Tug of war.
    If pH is Normal it is a Sign of Full Compensation If the pH is not Normal it can be
    interpreted as Partially Compensated. Let’s look at some examples.

    Example 1: pH 7.30, PaCO2 52 , HCO3 40

    pH is Low 7.30 making it Acidic, PaCO2 52 making High (Acid Match with pH), HCO3 40 is
    making it High and on the Base State.
    Interpretation: Respiratory Acidosis Partially Compensated as the Kidney is trying to
    Compensate (partially as the pH is still not within normal Range).
    Example 2: pH 7.55, PaCO2 47, HCO3 is 35

    pH is High 7.30 making it Base, PaCO2 47 making High, HCO3 40 is making it High (Base
    match with pH) and on the Base State.
    Interpretation: Metabolic Alkalosis Partially Compensated
    Note: the lungs is trying to compensate with the base state but since the pH is still not
    normal it is only partially compensated.

    Example 3: pH 7.36 , PaCO2 50, HCO2 29

    pH is 7.36 Normal , PaCO2 is Acidic 50, HCO3 29 is Base (No Ph Match?)


    pH is Close to Acid meaning it matches with PaCO2 making this Respiratory Acidosis
    Compensation: Ph is Normal , PaCO2 is Acidic 50, HCO3 is High to Compensate
    Interpretation: Respiratory Acidosis Fully Compensated
    Practice ABG Interpretations

    4. pH 7.26 CO2 31 HCO3 13

    Interpretation:

    5. pH 7.22 CO2 45 HCO3 18

    Interpretation:

    6. pH 7.47 CO2 33 HCO3 23

    Interpretation:

    7. pH 7.45 CO2 18 HCO3 18

    Interpretation:

    8. pH 7.50 CO2 59 HCO3 44

    Interpretation:

    9. pH 7.31 CO2 33 HCO3 16

    Interpretation:

    10. pH 7.49 CO2 27 HCO3 20
