1. A male patient, age 24, is admitted to the ER after an acute barbiturate overdose. Results from an arterial blood gas are as follows. Evaluate the information to determine respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, and determine if compensation has occurred (2 points) patient value PH-7.29 HCO3-25meq/L PCO2-70meq/L PO2-70mm/Hg.
Normal Value Arterial Blood gas (ABG's) PH-7.35-7.45, PCO2-35-45mmhg ,PO2-80-100mmhg, HCO3 22-28meg/l
