Alveolar Gas Equation

PAO2 = FiO2 x 94.5 - (PaCO2 x 1.25) kPa


PAO2 = FiO2 x 713 - (PaCO2 x 1.25) mmHg

Winter's Formula

PCO2 = (1.5 x HCO3) + 8 +/-2




Evaluates respiratory compensation when metabolic acidosis is present


Higher than expected PCO2 = concurrent respiratory acidosis
Lower than expected PCO2 = respiratory alkalosis
