Step I Acid base disturbances

[Reperfused]

People who took exam recently, can you please help.
These metabolic/respiratory acidosis/alkalosis.. How much in depth do we need to know?
Let's say if ABGs are given, it's pretty easy to find out which one of the 4 disorders is it.
But... the next thing, to find out whether it's acute or chronic, compensated or uncompensated, all the related equations and ratios (eg the Winters equation). The stuff given in kaplan physio. Do we need to know all this?

Please help. Thanks
