O Opposite
ph > PCO2 < Alkalosis
ph < PCO2 > Acidosis
M Metabolic
E Equal
ph> HCO3 > Alkalosis
ph< HC03 < Acidosis
Hope this helps to explain . Also if it is a repiratory problem co2 levels are going to be off and if it is a metabolic problem you HCO3 levels are going to be off. -

1Oct 10, '06 by belfryQuote from moonshadeauI learned byI always had a hard time with this one, so I came up with my own related to experience.
First there is snow(white), then mud season (brown), and the grass comes out (green obviously).
As for the left side, I try to remember that financially that it is always better to be in the black, than in the red (financially).
That is how I remember it anway.
White on the right
Clouds over grass (white over green)
Smoke over fire (black over red)
and poop in the middle (brown)Ogechi likes this. -

3Oct 15, '06 by dani_girlQuote from mopnglo42Another way to remember the eyes is:Trouble figuring out which eye is which?
OS is left eye
OD is the right eye
You can remember which one is the right eye (OD), because you can make the D into an R - You just have to draw to stick legs on the bottom of the D. Write it down on paper, you'll see what I mean (it's hard to show you when all I can do is type)
You look OUt with Both eyes.
Take the Right dose so you won't OD [overdose].
The only one that is Left is OS.
- Both eyes=OU, Right eye=OD, Left eye=OS.
Works for me -
