Step 1: Look at the pH: is the blood acidemic or
alkalemic?
EXAMPLE : 65yo M with CKD presenting with nausea, diarrhea
and acute respiratory distress ABG :ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr
5.1 ACIDMEIA OR ALKALEMIA ????
![Page 6: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
EXAMPLE ONE ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN
119/ Cr 5.1 Answer PH = 7.23 , HCO3 7 Acidemia
![Page 7: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Step 2: What is the primary disorder?
What disorder is present?
pH pCO2 or HCO3
Respiratory Acidosis pH low pCO2 high
Metabolic Acidosis pH low HCO3 low
Respiratory Alkalosis pH high pCO2 low
Metabolic Alkalosis pH high HCO3 high
![Page 8: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
EXAMPLE
ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr 5.
PH is low , CO2 is Low PH and PCO2 are going in same directions then its
most likely primary metabolic will check to see if there is a mixed disoder.
![Page 9: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Step 3-4: Is there appropriate compensation? Is it chronic or acute? Respiratory Acidosis
Acute: for every 10 increase in pCO2 -> HCO3 increases by 1 and there is a decrease of 0.08 in pH MEMORIZE
Chronic: for every 10 increase in pCO2 -> HCO3 increases by 4 and there is a decrease of 0.03 in pH
Respiratory Alkalosis Acute: for every 10 decrease in pCO2 -> HCO3 decreases by 2
and there is a increase of 0.08 in PH MEMORIZE Chronic: for every 10 decrease in pCO2 -> HCO3 decreases by 5
and there is a increase of 0.03 in PH
![Page 10: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Step 3-4: Is there appropriate compensation? Is it acute or chronic ? Metabolic Acidosis
Winter’s formula: pCO2 = 1.5[HCO3] + 8 ± 2 MEMORIZE
If serum pCO2 > expected pCO2 -> additional respiratory acidosis
Metabolic Alkalosis For every 10 increase in HCO3 -> pCO2 increases by 6
![Page 11: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EXAMPLE ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr 5.
Winter’s formula : 17= 1.5 (7) +8 = 18.5 So correct compensation so there is only
one disorder Primary metabolic
![Page 12: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step 5: Calculate the anion gap AG = Na – Cl – HCO3 (normal 12 ± 2) AG corrected = AG + 2.5[4 – albumin] If there is an anion Gap then calculate the
Delta/delta gap (step 6). Only need to calculate delta gap (excess anion gap) when there is an anion gap to determine additional hidden metabolic disorders (nongap metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis)
If there is no anion gap then start analyzing for non-anion acidosis
![Page 13: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
EXAMPLE Calculate Anion gap
ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr 5/
Albumin 4.
AG = Na – Cl – HCO3 (normal 12 ± 2) 123 – 97 – 7 = 19
No need to correct for albumin as it is 4
![Page 14: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step 6: Calculate the different needed formulas Delta gap = (actual AG – 12) + HCO3 Adjusted HCO3 should be 24 (+_ 6) {18-30} If delta gap > 30 -> additional metabolic alkalosis If delta gap < 18 -> additional non-gap metabolic
acidosis If delta gap 18 – 30 -> no additional metabolic
disorders
![Page 15: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
EXAMPLE : Delta Gap ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr 5/
Albumin 4.
Delta gap = (actual AG – 12) + HCO3
(19-12) +7 = 14 Delta gap < 18 -> additional non-gap
metabolic acidosisSo Metabolic acidosis anion and non
anion gap

Metobolic acidosis: Anion gap acidosis
![Page 17: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
EXAMPLE: WHY ANION GAP? 65yo M with CKD presenting with nausea, diarrhea
and acute respiratory distress ABG :ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr
5.1 So for our patient for anion gap portion its due
to BUN of 119 UREMIA But would still check lactic acid
![Page 18: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nongap metabolic acidosis
Causes of nongap metabolic acidosis - DURHAM
Diarrhea, ileostomy, colostomy, enteric fistulas
Ureteral diversions or pancreatic fistulas
RTA type I or IV, early renal failure
Hyperailmentation, hydrochloric acid administration
Acetazolamide, Addison’s
Miscellaneous – post-hypocapnia, toulene, sevelamer, cholestyramine ingestion
For non-gap metabolic acidosis, calculate the urine anion gapUAG = UNA + UK – UCL
If UAG>0: renal problemIf UAG<0: nonrenal problem (most commonly GI)
![Page 19: ABG analysis & Acid-Base Disorders](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56815aa2550346895dc82a69/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
EXAMPLE : NON ANION GAP ACIDOSIS 65yo M with CKD presenting with nausea, diarrhea
and acute respiratory distress ABG :ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr
5.1
Most likely due to the diarrhea

Metabolic alkalosis Calculate the urinary chloride to differentiate saline
responsive vs saline resistant Must be off diuretics in order to interpret urine chloride
Saline responsive UCL<10
Saline-resistant UCL >10
Vomiting If hypertensive: Cushings, Conn’s, RAS, renal failure with alkali administartion
NG suction If not hypertensive: severe hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, Bartter’s, Gittelman’s, licorice ingestion
Over-diuresis Exogenous corticosteroid administration
Post-hypercapnia

Respiratory Alkalosis Causes of Respiratory Alkalosis
Anxiety, pain, fever

Acute airway obstruction – foreign body, tumor, reactive airway
Severe pneumonia, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion
Chest cavity problems – hemothorax, pneumothorax, flail chest
Chronic lung disease – obstructive or restrictive
