Respiratory compensation is appropriate for this metabolic acidosis — the kidneys and lungs are working correctly together.
Measured PaCO2 higher than expected — a respiratory acidosis is superimposed (hypoventilation, sedation, lung disease) or compensation is failing. Check airway and ventilation.
Measured PaCO2 lower than expected — a respiratory alkalosis is present (hyperventilation) or compensation is incomplete. Recheck ABG; consider mixed disorder.
