Arterial Blood Gas Analysis of Critically Ill Corona Virus Disease 2019 Patients

Background/Aims: The aim of present study was to find out profile and sequential pattern Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) in critically ill Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
 Study Design: Observational prospective study.
 Methodology: A total 80 Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT PCR) positive cases; that needed ICU admission for their life-threatening conditions were included this done at teaching hospital Gujarat, India. Non consenting patients who could not be followed up as per protocol excluded. Data (ABG), performed on admission, day 5 10 taken the analysis. Patients till they remained ICU.
 Results: Of patients, 3 had normal, 24 (30%) primary disorder ABG while 53 (66.25%) mixed disorders. most common abnormality observed respiratory alkalosis with metabolic acidosis 16 (20%) 15 (18.75%). There difference among survivors non-survivors (P=.04); which conspicuous presence “respiratory acidosis” (15.63%), seen survivors. admitted COVID ICU; 2 improved after 1; 6 5; 40 10, making 48 surviving critical condition. 32 non-survivors, 14 died within twenty-four hours first days 04 stay.
 Conclusion: serially severe COVID-19 gives useful information underlying pathophysiology. Mixed more than single can sign multi-organ involvement. Respiratory significantly higher non-survivors. a part or found patients.
