Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The acid base status of Henry and the compensation report, who has suffered from a severe myocardial infarction and the lab reports from an arterial blood sample show the values as pH as 7.30, HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) as 20 mm (millimeter) Eq/liter (equivalents per liter), and
Introduction:
Myocardial infarction is a cardiac disorder in which there is a low or no blood flow to the heart and causes damage to the cardiac muscles.

Henry is in the intensive care unit because he suffered a severe myocardial infarction three days ago. The lab reports the followingvalues from an arterial blood sample: pH 7.30, HCO320 mEq/ liter, PCO2 32 mmHg. Diagnose Henry’s acid–base status and decide whether compensation is occurring.
Adult male suffered myocardial infarction and is currently in cardiogenic shock. Blood pH = 7.25, [HCO3-] = 14 mmol/L, PaCO2 = 38 mmHg.
What kind of acid-base imbalance is the patient suffering from? Briefly describe fully how this occurred.
interpret the following ABG:
pH= 7.7 paCO2= 30 paO2= 70 HCO3= 32
What type of imbalance is the patient experiencing?
