Increased systemic artery PCO2

Hypoventilation    

The pCO2 provides an indication about the respiratory component of the blood gas results.

A high value indicate hypoventilation.

A low value indicates hyperventilation.

Decreased systemic artery PCO2

Hyperventilation

Increased systemic artery pH

Hyperventilation

Hyperventilation is responsible to produce respiratory alkalosis (compensatory mechanism for metabolic acidosis).

Hypoventilation is responsible to produce respiratory acidosis (compensatory mechanism for metabolic alkalosis).

Decreased systemic artery pH

Hypoventilation

Increased systemic artery PO2

Hyperventilation

During hyperventilation, the arterial PCO2 is lowered and pH of the blood is increased, the average PO2 is decreased.

Decreased systemic artery PO2

Hypoventilation

During hypoventilation, the arterial PCO2 is raised and pH of the blood is decreased, the average PO2 is increased.
