🗑
Resp acidosis   pH <7.35, PaCO2 >45, HCO3 22-26  
🗑

🗑
Uncompensated   pH is abnormal and so is HCO3 or PaCO2, not both  
🗑
Partially compensated   pH, CO2 and HCO3 will be abnormal  
🗑
Fully compensated   pH is normal, but CO2 and HCO3 are abnormal  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
