Table 2 Arterial blood gad trends show severe hypercapnic respiratory acidosis pre-intubation with improvement after ventilation; persistent hypercapnia with normal pH suggests chronic CO2 retention with metabolic compensation.
| Parameter | Initial (pre-intubation) | Post-intubation | Reference range |
