Panic values recently seen on an ABG:

PaCO2: 102 mmHg (Normal range 35-45)
pH: 7.215 (Normal range 7.35-7.45)

These values are AFTER the patient has been on BiPAP 18/8, rate of 12 for about the past 9 hours.

On transfer to ICU, he was on 2L NC, SpO2 97%.



I kid you not. Alert and oriented x3. Transferred himself from the stretcher to the bed.
