发帖数: 169 | 1 there is a question saying a patient with an acute asthma attack, whose
arterial blood gas on 50% oxygen reveals pH of 7.34, PCO2 of 38 mm/Hg, PO2
of 55mm/Hg and bicarbonate of 20mEq/L. I just wondering how come a asthmatic
patien can have a metabolic acidosis? i thought it is supposed to be
respiratory acidosis because of the retention of CO2. |
