Abstract :

Patients with an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Arterial blood gas analysis (ABG) pao2, pco2, pH and bicarbonate have been studied in 60 patients. Among them 35 were Acidosis (20 respiratory acidosis, 5 metabolic acidosis and 10 mixed respiratory and metabolic acidosis) and 25 cases were found to be Alkalosis (4 metabolic alkalosis, 15 respiratory alkalosis and 6 mixed respiratory and metabolic alkalosis). The mean age was 56.50 ± 5.81 years and pco2 (mean ± S. D.) 49.30 ± 1.37 and po2 64.72 ± 2. 31 mmHg, pH was found in the range 7.25 – 7.55 and HCo3– 28.30 ± 2.12 (mean ± S. D.). In present study choice of respiratory and metabolic ABG in COPD are important due to respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis.
