Rule 3: If either the pH or PaCO2 is normal, there is a
mixed metabolic and respiratory acid-base disorder (one
is an acidosis and the other is an alkalosis).
If the pH is normal, the direction of change in PaCO2
identifies the respiratory disorder, and if the PaCO2 is
normal, the direction of change in the pH identifies
the metabolic disorder.
Remember that the compensatory responses to a
primary acid-base disturbance are never strong
enough to correct the pH, but act to reduce the
severity of the change in pH. Therefore, a normal pH
in the presence of an acid-base disorder always
signifies a mixed respiratory and metabolic acid-base
disorder.
