Acid-Base Balance

Marker of pulmonary ventilation

pCO2

Marker of hypoxemia

pO2

HCO3 is calculated how

Total CO2 - (pCO2 × 0.03)

Factors affected by a shift to the right in Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve

CADET

• C = increased pCO2

• A = Acid pH; Low pH

• D = Increased 2,3 DPG

• E = Increased Exercise; Decreased pO2

• T = Increased Temp

For every 1C increase in body temp,

• pCO2 increases by _

• pO2 decreases by _

• pH decreases by _
