Hi Mike. Thanks for the video. I learn a humongous knowledge here. Anyway I had a patient was intubated. Came to ED lobby very weak / no resp distress/ suddenly just passed out in the wheelchair. She’s 69 yo. So she was rushed to the room and was right away intubated. ABG: 7.41. / CO2: 50/ HCO3: 28 I really can’t determine how to read the ABG. I know she is totally compensated due to normal ph. But is it metabolic or acidotic? Please help🤗🤗🤗

I'm not mark, obviously, but this looks like compensated metabolic alkalosis. ph is WNL but more alkalotic. CO2 is acidotic, compensating for the alkalotic HCO3 lvl.
