Figure 2 Relationship between pressure of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate concentration in chronic metabolic acidosis.
The relationship between pCO2 and HCO3 during metabolic acidosis is graphically depicted as a curve. Two linear approximations (straight lines) equivalent to Winters’ formula (pCO2 = 1.5 × HCO3 + 8) and to the practical rule (pCO2 = 1.2 × HCO3 + 11.2) are also shown. HCO3: Bicarbonate concentration; pCO2: Pressure of carbon dioxide.
