He had a past medical history of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes. Tonys lab values were as follows: pH: 7.28 (Low-acidic), PaCO2: 55 mmHg (High-acidic), PaO2: 70 mm Hg (Low), HCO3: 30 mEq/L (High-basic), and SpO2: 84% (Low). From these values, we can determine that he is experiencing respiratory acidosis. €œRespiratory acidosis occurs when the respiratory function is impaired and the exchange of O2 and CO2 is reduced, which causes CO2 retention, and leads to the same increase in hydrogen ion levels and acidosis€ (Rebar, Ignatavicius, Workman, p. 192, 2017). The pH value less than 7.35, HCO3 greater than 26 mEq/L, and PaCO2 gr. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
