close CO2 is the respiratory component.
HCO3- is the metabolic component.

Partial compensation means that the pH is still abnormal.
Full compensation means that the pH is back to normal.
close The pH is normal, so it is fully compensated.
close The pH is normal, so either things are normal, or the problem has been fully compensated.
-13.1 mEq/L
normal: (-2) - 2 mEq/L close
normal: (-2) - 2 mEq/L close
This BE is low (acidotic). However, the pH is on the alkalotic side of normal. This makes the (acidotic) BE the compensation.
10 mEq/L
normal: 22-26 mEq/L close
normal: 22-26 mEq/L close
This HCO3- is low (acidotic). However, the pH is on the alkalotic side of normal. This makes the (acidotic) HCO3- the compensation.
16 mmHg
normal: 35-45 mmHg close
normal: 35-45 mmHg close
This CO2 is low (alkalotic). The pH is on the alkalotic side of normal. This makes the (alkalotic) CO2 the primary cause.
16 mmHg = 2.1 kPa
7.42
normal: 7.35-7.45 close
normal: 7.35-7.45 close
This pH is normal. If any of the other pieces are abnormal, they must be fully compensated.
