Normal Lab Values, Electolyte/Fluid Balance,Med-Surg

QuestionAnswer
Normal ABG : Ph 7.35 - 7.45
Normal ABG : PaCO2(acid) 35 - 45 mm/Hg
Normal ABG : O2 sat. 95 - 99%
Normal ABG : HCO-3 (AKA/base) 22 - 26 mEq/L (Bicarbonate)
pH < 7.35 PaCO2 > 42-45 Respiratory Acidosis (Carbonic Acid Excess)
pH > 7.45 PaCO2 < 35-38 Respiratory Alkalosis (Carbonic Acid Defecit)
pH < 7.35 ^H HCO3 < 22 Metabolic Acidosis
pH > 7.45 vH HCO3 > 24-26 Metabolic Alkalosis
Na+ (Extracellular) (Intracellular) more E or I Sodium: ECF(135 - 154) ICF(15 - 20) E
K+ (Extracellular) (Intracellular) more E or I Potassium: ECF(3.5 - 5) ICF(150 - 155) I
