Question

Among the following sets of values, which is likely for a healthy young subject at rest?
a) PaO2 = 40mmHg; PaCO2 = 40mmHg; PvCO2 = 100mmHg
b) PAO2 = 100mmHg; PaCO2 = 40mmHg; PvO2 = 40mmHg
c) PaO2 = 100mmHg; PvO2 = 44mmHg; PACO2 = 100mmHg
d) PACO2 = 40mmHg; PaO2 = 40mmHg; PvCO2 = 40mmHg
e) PvO2 = 40mmHg; PaCO2 = 40mmHg; PvCO2 = 100mmHg

Answer 1

For a healthy young subject at rest, the set of values is option D. d) PACO2 = 40mmHg; PaO2 = 40mmHg; PvCO2 = 40mmHg

An improved PaCO2 reflects alveolar hypoventilation, whereas a decreased PaCO2 displays alveolar hyperventilation. Acute modifications in PaCO2 will adjust the pH. As a trendy rule, a low pH with excessive PaCO2 suggests respiratory acidosis, even as a low pH with low PaCO2 indicates metabolic acidosis.

A low pCO2 suggests breathing alkalosis which can be primary or secondary to a primary metabolic acidosis. Bicarbonate is calculated from measured [H+] and pCO2 values. A high standard [HCO3- ] suggests either primary metabolic alkalosis or a compensatory reaction to a number one respiratory acidosis.
