EVALUATING ACID-BASE DISORDERS ARMADA
acid-base balance made easy in 4 steps
1. A cidosis or Alkalosis?2. R espiratory disorder?
acidosis or alkalosis check pCO2
M etabolic disorder? acidosis or alkalosis check HCO3
The one that matches the pH (acidosis or alkalosis), is the
primary disorder.
3. A nion Gap? D elta AG?4. A ssess compensation

STEP 1: EVALUATE PH
Evaluate pH< 7.35 = Acidosis> 7.45 = Alkalosis
![Page 4: MLAB 2401: C LINICAL C HEMISTRY K ERI B ROPHY -M ARTINEZ ABG Interpretation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cd65503460f9499e45f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
STEP 2: THINK “ROME”
To determine whether the disorder is respiratory or metabolic use “ROME”
R = Respiratory Seesawing (opposite) is pCO2 less than 35 (alkalosis) or more than 45 (acidosis)
O = Opposite [pH & pCO2]
M = Metabolic Swinging togethero is HCO3 less than 22 (acidosis) or more than 26 (alkalosis)
E = Equal [pH & HCO3]

STEP 3: ANION GAP (AG) & DELTA AG
Examine AG and Delta AG
Anion gap = (Na + K) - (Cl + [HCO3]) (all units mmol/L)
Since K is a small number, then . . .
AG = Na+ - (Cl- + HCO3-)
Delta AG = patient's AG - 12 mEq/L

MORE ON THE ANION GAP
MUDPILES Methanol Uremia of renal failure Diabetes or ketoacidosis Paraldehyde toxicity Isoniazid Lactic acidosis Ethylene glycol Salicylate

STEP 4: ASSESS COMPENSATION
To assess compensation compare pCO2 and HCO3
- to reference range
Is the pH normal? Yes
Respiratory disorder compensated by kidneys
Metabolic disorder compensated by lungs
![Page 8: MLAB 2401: C LINICAL C HEMISTRY K ERI B ROPHY -M ARTINEZ ABG Interpretation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cd65503460f9499e45f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
STEP 4: ASSESS COMPENSATION
If the pH is still outside the reference range Partial compensation has occurred
![Page 9: MLAB 2401: C LINICAL C HEMISTRY K ERI B ROPHY -M ARTINEZ ABG Interpretation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cd65503460f9499e45f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ACID-BASE - PROBLEM #1
pH = 7.56pCO2 = 43 mmHG
HCO3 = 38 mEQ/L
pH > 7.45, then alkalosis
pH & HCO3 swinging up, then Metabolic Alkalosis
Since pH still high and pCO2 normal then it is Uncompensated
What are some causes of Metabolic Alkalosis?
![Page 10: MLAB 2401: C LINICAL C HEMISTRY K ERI B ROPHY -M ARTINEZ ABG Interpretation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cd65503460f9499e45f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ACID-BASE PROBLEM #2
pH = 7.23
PCO2 = 57 mmHG
HCO3 = 23 mEQ/L
pH < 7.35, then acidosis
Bicarb is normal but CO2 is elevated or opposite of pH so this is Respiratory Acidosis
Since the pH is still low and the HCO3 is normal it is uncompensated
What causes Respiratory Acidosis?
![Page 11: MLAB 2401: C LINICAL C HEMISTRY K ERI B ROPHY -M ARTINEZ ABG Interpretation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cd65503460f9499e45f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
pH < 7.35, then acidosis
pCO2 normal but HCO3 is low or swinging w/ pH so it is Metabolic Acidosis
pCO2 normal so uncompensated
What causes Metabolic Acidosis?
ACID-BASE PROBLEM #3
pH = 7.23pCO2 = 45
HCO3 = 19
![Page 12: MLAB 2401: C LINICAL C HEMISTRY K ERI B ROPHY -M ARTINEZ ABG Interpretation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cd65503460f9499e45f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ACID-BASE PROBLEM #4
pH = 7.51pCO2 = 29 mmHG
HCO3 = 20 mEq/L
pH > 7.45, then alkalosis
pCO2 is low or opposite pH so it is Respiratory Alkalosis
Since HCO3 is low it is partially compensated
What causes Respiratory Alkalosis?How is it compensated?
