A 14-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis has complained of an increased cough productive of green sputum over the last week. She also complained of being increasingly short of breath, and she is noticeably wheezing on physical examination. Arterial blood was drawn and sampled, revealing the following values:
pH 7.30
pCO2 50 mm Hg
pO2 55 mm Hg
Hemoglobin - O2 saturation 45 %
[HCO3-] 24 meq/liter
