ABG COMPUTATION
If actual pH > expected pH & HCO3 is within 22-26, there is a suspected underlying metabolic alkalosis
If actual pCO2 > expected & pCO2 > 45, there is a combined respiratory and respiratory acidosis If actual pCO2 > expected & pCO2 > 45, there is a combined respiratory and respiratory acidosis
If actual pCO2 > expected & pCO2 is within 35-45, there is a suspected underlying respiratory acidosis If actual pCO2 > expected & pCO2 is within 35-45, there is a suspected underlying respiratory acidosis

If actual pCO2 < expected & pCO2 < 35 there is a combined metabolic and respiratory alkalosis If actual pCO2 < expected & pCO2 < 35 there is a combined metabolic and respiratory alkalosis
If actual pCO2 < expected & pCO2within 35-45, there is a suspected underlying respiratory alkalosis If actual pCO2 < expected & pCO2within 35-45, there is a suspected underlying respiratory alkalosis
If actual pCO2 > expected, there is a suspected underlying respiratory acidosis If actual pCO2 > expected, there is a suspected underlying respiratory acidosis
