The document is a flowchart for analyzing arterial blood gases (ABGs) to determine acid-base imbalances. It shows that pH is first assessed as high or low, then PaCO2 and HCO3 levels are evaluated to determine if the acid-base imbalance is respiratory or metabolic in nature, and whether it is an acidosis or alkalosis.
