1 Unaudited Financial Results for the Quarter ended 31st March, 2015 along with Limited Review Report. 2  Date: 14th May, 2015.
The ABG values one would see with respiratory alkalosis would be: pH > 7.45; PaCO2 < 35 mm Hg; and HCO3 < 22 mEq/L if compensating. In acute respiratory alkalosis the compensation is to lower the serum HCO3 by 2 mEq/L for every 10 mmHg reduction in PaCO2.
Measurement of pH and PCO 2 by ABG in a patient with a low HCO 3 level makes it possible to differentiate a metabolic compensation of a respiratory alkalosis from a primary metabolic acidosis.actic acidosis and other forms of organic acidosis generally do not present with a significant potassium shift. Glucose level is commonly elevated in DKA, and it may be low, normal, or mildly elevated in alcoholic ketoacidosis. The BUN and creatinine levels are elevated in uremic acidosis.
