Abstract
According to the Davenport nomogram for chronic respiratory acidosis, there is an expected compensatory increase in serum bicarbonate by 3.5-4.0 mEq/L for every 10 unit increase in paCO2. Hypothesis: The existing formula for compensation for acid base disorders does not accurately predict bicarbonate in patients with severe respiratory acidosis (paCO2 >= 80 mmHg). A new formula; Serum Bicarbonate = 88.64*pH + 0.34*paCO2 - 637.24 better predicts bicarbonate in this population. [Extracted from the article]
