funny how it looks

when you see an acidotic pH
bicarb also low: to may think its metabolic acidosis(can also look at lactate-to indicate sepsis)
but when you see the pCo2 is also high: co2 retention on the same time
-it is a mixed respiratory and metablic acidosis- occurs a lot a very sick patients
