Two patients, both in respiratory distress, present to your hospital when you have only a single ventilator available. Each has a history of emphysema and each wants “everything possible done.” Results of ABG testing of the first patient show PO2 = 68 mmHg, PCO2 = 58 mmHg, and HCO3– = 22 mEq/L. Results for the second patient are PO2 = 59 mmHg, PCO2 = 75 mmHg, and HCO3– = 38 mEq/L. All else being equal and based purely on ABG analysis, which patient should get the ventilator?
