3. Anion gap
• To know the cause of acid base imbalance
• Anion gap = (Na+ + K+) – (Cl- + HCO3
-)
• Normal level: 10 – 18 mmol/L

4. Metabolic acidosis
• Large anion gap (MUDPILES)
- M-Methanol
- U-Uremia; chronic renal failure
- D-Diabetic ketoacidosis
- P-Propylene glycol
- I-Infection, Isoniazid, Inborn errors of metabolism
- L-Lactic acidosis
- E-Ethanol
- S-Salicylates
• Normal anion gap
- RTA, diarrhea/vomiting, Addison’s disease, pancreatic fistula,
acetazolamide
• Small anion gap
- Hypoalbuminemia e.g. in CLD, nephrotic syndrome

6. Respiratory acidosis
• Type II respi failure
- lung/neuromuscular cause
- E.g. in COPD, GBS, flail chest, pul fibrosis
- Exhaustion in asthma, pneumonia, pul edema respi arrest

8. Compensated acid base imbalance
1. Evaluate pH—is it normal? Yes
2. Next evaluate pCO2 & HCO3
• pH normal + increased pCO2 + increased HCO3 =
compensated respiratory acidosis
• pH normal + decreased HCO3 + decreased pCO2 =
compensated metabolic acidosis

Device Oxygen flow rate Oxygen percentage
Nasal prong 1 – 4 L/min 24 – 35%
Simple face mask 5 – 10 L/min 40 – 60%
High flow mask 10 – 15 L/min Almost 100%
