health.blood-gas-acidosis Calculator
Interprets arterial blood gas (ABG) results stepwise — acid-base status, compensation type, and oxygenation — using the Boston criteria. ABG interpretation follows a strict sequence: pH → primary disorder → pCO₂ → HCO₃⁻ → compensation adequacy.
Inputs
- Ph
- Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
- Paco2 Mmhg
- Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
- Pao2 Mmhg
- Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
- Hco3 Meq L
- Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
- acid-base status
- Current state of the system, process, or metric — typically pass/fail, healthy/warning/critical, or a descriptive classification.
- pH
- pH of the solution. Below 7: acidic. 7: neutral. Above 7: basic (alkaline).
- PaCO₂ (normal 35-45)
- Sample size or count used in the calculation.
- HCO₃⁻ (normal 22-26)
- Sample size or count used in the calculation.
- PaO₂ (normal >80)
- Sample size or count used in the calculation.
- compensation rule
- The value at the specified point or condition.
