Parameters and calculations
Equation 4-18
cHCO
3
-
st
Standard bicarbonate of the blood, defined as the plasma bicarbonate concentration
in blood, which has been equilibrated at 37 °C with a gas mixture having a PCO
2
=
40 mmHg.
[3]
Unit: [mmol/L]
Equation 4-19
PAO
2
The alveolar oxygen partial pressure is used to calculate several parameters used for
oxidation and breathing.
[6]
Unit: [mmHg]
Equation 4-20
If the result of the calculation is PAO
2
< PO
2
, then PAO
2
is set to equal PO
2
.
Therefore, PACO
2
corresponds to the measured PCO
2
.

AaDO
2
The alveolar arterial oxygen partial pressure gradient (PAO
2
- PaO
2
) is the difference
between the alveolar oxygen partial pressure, as calculated above, and the measured
oxygen partial pressure of arterial blood.
