how can you estimate acute pH and HCO3- with pCO2?
|
for every 10 mm Hg pCO2 increase, pH drops by 0.07, HCO3- increases by1
for every 10 mm Hg pCO2 decrease, pH increases by 0.08, HCO3- decreases by 2 |

how can you estimate chronic pH with pCO2?
|
for every 10 mm Hg pCO2 increase, pH drops by 0.03, HCO3- increases by 3-4
for every 10 mm Hg pCO2 decrease, pH increases by 0.03, HCO3- decreases by 5 |
