PCO2 = 54 HCO3 = 35 pH = 7.35 PaO2 = 89 % What state of acid-base balance is this person in? Could you please explain your answer to me? Many thanks!! :
I'm so sorry to hear of Daytonite's passing- I did not realize she was ill. I was stumped on an acid-base balance problem, so I thought I'd log on and send her my question. I had no idea that she...
Thanks! I guess I agree, but I still have lingering questions in my mind about this. I mean, for "imbalanced nurtirion: more than body requirements" the R/T factor is excessive intake in...
