ACID-BASE ANALYSIS OF BLOOD GAS VALUES - page 6
 

Notice how placing the values on the map
pretty much tells you the interpretation

pH = 6.83

CO2 = 60

HCO3 = 10

blood gas map

This is a severe acidosis with a pH of 6.83. You can see that both the CO2 and the HCO3 are deep into acidosis : A COMBINED METABOLIC AND RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS
