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
