Question 1 of 5

George, an 85yearold man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was rushed to the emergency department with increasing shortness of breath, restlessness, and difficulty communicating due to his inability to complete a sentence. On assessment, tachycardia and a bounding pulse were noted. Wheezes could be heard in the lower lobes. His blood gas shows a pH of 7.3, PaCO2 of 68 mmHg, HCO3 of 28 mmol/L, and PaO2 of 60 mmHg. How would you interpret this?
