18 year old man was brought to ED with an overdose of unknown medication. He was intoxicated and very agitated. He needed 4 security guards to restrain him so a medical officer can put a cannula and administer midazolam.
Blood gas was taken from the cannula before midazolam administration and it showed the following:
PH = 7.19
PO2 = 52 mmol/L
PCO2 = 28 mmol/L
HCO3 = 19 mmol/L
Na = 141 mmol/L
K = 3.6 mmol/L
Cl = 104 mmol/L
lactate = 17.4 mmol/L
Cr = 51 nmol/L
BSL = 6.2 mmol/L
Questions:
- Interpret these blood gases
- What are the potential causes?
- how will you manage this case?
