Partial compensation means that the pH is still abnormal.
Full compensation means that the pH is back to normal.
close With both CO2 and HCO3- normal, there is no compensation taking place here.
close The pH is normal, so either things are normal, or the problem has been fully compensated.
normal: (-2) - 2 mEq/L close
This BE is normal. The BE is neither causing an imbalance, nor compensating for one.
normal: 22-26 mEq/L close
This HCO3- is normal. The HCO3- is neither causing an imbalance, nor compensating for one.
normal: 35-45 mmHg close
This CO2 is normal. The CO2 is neither causing an imbalance, nor compensating for one.
40 mmHg = 5.3 kPa
normal: 7.35-7.45 close
This pH is normal. If any of the other pieces are abnormal, they must be fully compensated.
