pH<7.35=Acidosis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
pH>7.45=Alkalosis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Check PaCO2
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PaCO2 > 45mm Hg = Respiratory acidosis Primary cause: hypoventilation
 
PaCO2 Normal or < 35mm Hg = Metabolic acidosis
 
 
 
 
 
Check PaCO2
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PaCO2 > 45mm Hg = Metabolic alkalosis
 
PaCO2 < 35mm Hg = Respiratory alkalosis Primary cause: hyperventilation
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
HCO3- > 29 eg. vomiting
 
 
Check HCO3-
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Normal or slight decrease = Acute respiratory alkalosis eg. fever, panic attack
 
 
 
Decreased < 24 = Chronic respiratory alkalosis eg. Anemia, CNS causes

Approach to Metabolic Acidosis

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
pH<7.35
And
[HCO3-]<24 meq/L
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Metabolic acidosis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Calculate the anion gap (AG)

Na+ - Cl- - HCO3-
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Low AG
AG<8
 
 
 
 
 
Normal AG
8<AG<16
 
 
 
 
 
 
High AG
AG>16
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Check albumin

Correct the AG if albumin is low
For every decrease of 1 g/dl of albumin, AG is decreased by 2.5 meg/L
 
Check Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, immunoglobulins

High levels of these unmeasured cations decrease the AG
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Check urine AG
