Which of the following best represent the ABC value of PH-7.2, HCO3 -36 mmol/L, PCO2-60 mm of Hg?
Respiratory acidosis PH, 7.2--decreased (normal 7.4) HCO3, 36 mmo1/l--increased (22-28 mmHg) PCO2, 60 mmHg--increased (normal 40 mmHg) So it is a respiratory acidosis (pH 7.2 and PCO2 60) with compensation (increases HCO3)
Respiratory acidosis with metabolic alkalosis
