<prompt> pH 7.27, HCO3 10 mEqdl and pC02 23 mm Hg:Metabolic acidosisMetabolic alkalosisRespiratory acidosisRespiratory alkalosis  <response>: Applying Winters formula Estimated pCO2 HCO3 x 1.5 8 2 10 x 1.5 82 21-25 Since the actual pCO2 falls within the estimated range, we can deduce that the compensation is adequate and there is no separate respiratory disorder present
