Serum CO2 is really a measure of '''serum HCO3-''', also '''called bicarbonate'''. The procedure used to measure HCO3- in the laboratory first converts it to CO2. In the body, 95% of the CO2 is present as HCO3-, so most of what is measured in the laboratory represents HCO3-. | Serum CO2 is really a measure of '''serum HCO3-''', also '''called bicarbonate'''.
