    Normal blood gas readings

    pH 7.35-7.45

    PaCO2 4.7-6.0 kPa (35 mm Hg-45 mm Hg) PaO2 11-13.5 kPa (83 mm Hg-102 mm Hg)

    Anion gap

    Anion gap=(Na++K+)(Cl-+HCO3-)=10-16mmol/L

    The number of anions and cations should be equal, but a standard blood analysis does not measure them all, resulting in a difference of 10-16 mmol/L. Some causes of metabolic acidosis result in an increased anion gap and others result in a normal anion gap.
