NORMAL LAB RANGES YOU MUST MEMORIZE

ACID–BASE (ABGs)

Value Normal Range Critical ATI Meaning
pH 7.35 – 7.45 <7.35 = Acidosis / >7.45 = Alkalosis
PaCO₂ 35 – 45 mmHg Respiratory control
HCO₃ 22 – 26 mEq/L Metabolic control
Anion Gap 8 – 12 mEq/L ↑ = metabolic acidosis

ELECTROLYTES

Electrolyte Normal Range
Sodium (Na⁺) 135 – 145 mEq/L
Potassium (K⁺) 3.5 – 5.0 mEq/L
Calcium (Ca²⁺) 8.6 – 10.2 mg/dL
Magnesium (Mg²⁺) 1.5 – 2.5 mEq/L

REMEMBER FOR TEST

• Acidic = 7.35 OR LESS
• Alkalotic = 7.45 OR GREATER
• Pay attention to “EXCEPT”, “NOT”, “OPPOSITE”
