A country of southeast Asia in eastern Indochina on the South China Sea. It comprises the historical regions of Tonkin, Annam, and Cochin China, much of which was under Chinese control from the 3rd century bc to the 15th century ad.
A normal blood gas should be memorized using single values rather than a range: pH 7.40, pCO2 40, pO2 100, BE 0, HCO3 24. Our patient's arterial blood gas (ABG) shows that the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) is slightly low, but satisfactory.n arterial blood gas obtained with the patient breathing room air shows pH 7.35, pCO2 33, pO2 80, BE -7, HCO3 16, O2sat 93%. He is placed on 6 L oxygen by mask, an IV fluid infusion is begun, and antibiotics are administered.
PCO2 AND CALCULATED VALUES FOR. HCO3, TCO2, BASE EXCESS AND ANION GAP. Art: 714182-00F Rev. Date: 08/27/03. PCO2 is measured by direct potentiometry. In the calculation of results for PCO2, concentration is. re lat ed to potential through the Nernst equation. Results are measured at 37Â°C when using car tridg es. that require thermal control and corrected to 37Â°C when using cartridges that do not require thermal. control.
