PY - 2021 T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2021 AB - Two or three simultaneous disorders can be present in a mixed acid-base disorder, but there can never be two primary respiratory disorders. Uncovering a mixed acid-base disorder is clinically important and requires a methodical approach to acid-base analysis (see box Step-by-Step Analysis of Acid-Base Status). Once the primary disturbance has been determined, the clinician should assess whether the compensatory response is appropriate (Table 21–11). An inadequate or an exaggerated response indicates the presence of another primary acid-base disturbance.
