Lab Values
Coagulation/ ABG
| PH | 7.35–7.45 |
| PaCO2 - Measurement of carbon dioxide pressure in the blood. CO2 think aCidiC | 35–45 mmHg CO2 < 35 = Alkalosis CO2 > 45 = Acidosis |
| PaO2 - Measurement of oxygen pressure in the blood | 80–100 mmHg |
| HCO3- Measurement of bicarbonate in the blood bicarbonate think base | 22–26 mEq/L HCO3 > 26 = Alkalosis HCO3 < 22 = Acidosis |
| PT | 10–13 seconds |
| PTT | 25–35 seconds |
| aPTT | NOT ON heparin: 30–40 seconds ON heparin: 47–70 seconds |
| INR | NOT ON Warfarin: < 1 ON Warfarin: 2–3 |
| SaO2 - Measurement of oxygen saturation in the blood | 95–100% SaO2 < 95% = Hypoxemia The patient is not getting enough oxygen COPD patients may have lower than average O2 (as low as 88%) at baseline |
