Arterial blood gas interpretation

hi,

just wondering if anyone has any tips as to how to interpret this. just when i think i understand i don't. :uhoh3: i have ordered some books but wanted to know if there are any hints to make this easier. i get confused when the ph is normal and both the paco2 and hco3 are both elevated or vice versa. can't figure out how to tell if respiratory or metabolic.

thanks,

jenn :banghead:

this is a great piece for reference, and notable for its clear language. thanks so much for sharing it!:hrnsmlys:
