Shawn's girlfriend drove him to the emergency room when his wheezing was unresponsive to his fluticasone/salmeterol (Advair) inhaler. Shawn was unable to lie down and began to use accessory muscles to breathe. Shawn is immediately started on 4 L oxygen by nasal cannula and intravenous (IV) D5W at 75 mL/hr. A set of arterial blood gases is sent to the laboratory. Shawn appears anxious and says that he is short of breath. Vital signs (VS) BP = 152/84 HR = 124 bpm RR = 42 Temp = 100.40F Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs) pH = 7.31 PaCO2 = 48 HCO3 = 26 PaO2 = 55 1)Do you have any concerns with the numbers above (VS & ABG’s in the case study)?
