Question	Answer
PaO2	80-100 mmHg 60-79=Mild Hypoxemia ; 40-59=moderate ; <40=severe ; <27=death impending
HCO3-	22-26 mEq/L <22=metabolic acidosis ; >26=metabolic alkalosis
SaO2	93-97% this value may indicate tissue hypoxia
pH	7.35-7.45 <7.35 = Acid ; >7.45 = Alkaline (Base)
H+	The amount determines the pH. Acids = donate H+ : Bases = accept H+
B.E.	-2 to +2 mEq/L <-2 = metabolic acidosis ; >+2 = metabolic alkalosis
PaCO2	35-45 mmHg >45 Respiratory Acidosis ; <35 Respiratory Alkalosis

impending	80-100 mmHg 60-79=Mild Hypoxemia ; 40-59=moderate ; <40=severe ; <27=death _____	1	1	true
alkalosis	22-26 mEq/L <22=metabolic acidosis ; >26=metabolic _____	2	1	true
tissue	93-97% this value may indicate _____ hypoxia	3	1	true
accept	The amount determines the pH. Acids = donate H+ : Bases = _____ H+	5	1	true
acidosis	-2 to +2 mEq/L <-2 = metabolic _____ ; >+2 = metabolic alkalosis	6	1	true
PaCO2	Answer: 35-45 mmHg >45 Respiratory Acidosis ; <35 Respiratory Alkalosis	7	0	false
