Rule of the B’s.. If the pH & the bicarb are both in the same direction =
metabolic If they are in different directions = respiratory
RESPIRATORY OR METABOLIC !
PH ↑ HCO3 ↑ or PH ↓ HCO3 ↓ it is Metabolic
PH ↑ HCO3 ↓ or PH ↓ HCO3 ↑ it is Respiratory

PHِ< 7.45 Alkalosis

PHِ> 7.35 Acidosis
Compensated or uncompensated !
Un compensated if PCO2 or HCO3 are Normal
