ABG results that are most consistent with this diagnosis are:

- pH of the patient : 7.20

- PaCO_{2} of patient is low : 65 mm Hg

- HCO_{3} of patient : 26 mEq/L

<h3>What is ABG?</h3>
  • An arterial blood gas (ABG) test, which draws blood from an artery in your body, determines the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood.
  • The pH balance, sometimes referred to as the acid-base balance, of your blood is also examined during the test.
  • The National Institute of Health lists the following as typical normal values: pH: 7.35-7.45.
  • Oxygen partial pressure (PaO_{2}) ranges from 75 to 100 mmHg. Carbon dioxide (PaCO_{2}) partial pressure ranges from 35 to 45 mmHg.
  • The blood gas test can reveal how efficiently your lungs can introduce oxygen into the blood and expel carbon dioxide.
