Description
Acid-Base Status
1. Primary Disorder
- The primary disorder is a metabolic acidosis with a BE of -14.
Acid-Base Status
2. Compensation & Secondary Disorder
- There is partial respiratory compensation
- The measured (3.4 kPa) and expected (3.5 kPa) are similar so a secondary respiratory disorder is not suggested
Acid-Base Status
3. Assessment of Metabolic Acidosis
- The anion gap is 24 mmol/L indicating the presence of a HAGMA
- The delta ratio is 0.85 indicating an isolated HAGMA
Acid-Base Status
4. Assessment of HAGMA
- Osmolarities not provided
Acid-Base Status
5. Assessment of NAGMA
- Not applicable
Oxygen Status
6. Assessment of oxygenation
- There is slight impairment of oxygenation with P/F ratio of 46.25
Oxygen Status
7. Assessment of oxygen carriage
- Co-oximetry values not provided
