Check the acid-base status of a blood sample

ABNOMOGRAM - Check the Acid-Base status of a blood samples.
This function executes the analysis of the Acid-Base status of a blood
sample given the pH and the pCO2 (in mmHg). The function plots a nomogram
with 13, differently coloured, zones. The zone in which your data fall
represents the Acid-Base status of your blood sample. By itself, the
function plots a nomogram for a normal sample.
Syntax: ABNONOGRAM(pH,pCO2)

Inputs:
pH - Blood sample pH. This is a scalar value.
pC02 - Blood sample pCO2. This is a scalar value.
Outputs:
- Nomogram plot

Example:
abnomogram will show a nomogram for a normal sample
abnomogram(7.5,45) will show a nomogram with your data into the metabolic alkalosis zone
