Arterial Blood Gases: A Simplified Bedside Approach

Interpretation of Arterial blood gases is an essence of critical care. It helps for the assessment of clinical oxygenation, ventilation and acid-base status in critically ill patients. The four closely inter-related physiological parameters pH, PCO2, HCO3 and PO2 helps to diagnose, monitor and manage the ICU patients. Its correct interpretation and application necessitates the knowledge of basi...

Analysis of arterial blood gases--a comprehensive approach.

The arterial blood gases is one of the most important investigation for assessment of clinical oxygenation and acid-base status in critically ill patients. It provides us with information about ventilation, oxygenation and acid-base status, the three closely interrelated physiology parameters, which maintain the pH homeostasis. Its correct interpretation and application necessitates the knowled...
