Arterial Blood Gases: A Simplified Bedside Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
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 basic applied physiology in relation to these parameters. The present article is an attempt for the simplified approach for the bedside interpretation of ABG.

End-tidal Carbon Dioxide Measurements in Unintentional Non-Fire-Related Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Background: Poisoning with carbon monoxide occurs occasionally worldwide, and the gold diagnostic standard is to measure carboxyhemoglobin level in the blood. This study investigated the correlation between carboxyhemoglobin and the end-tidal carbon dioxide levels in 50 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods: We recruited 50 volunteer patients who had been admitted to the Emergency S...

To the Editor:—Metabolic alkalemia is the most common acid–base disturbance among patients in the hospital. Because the disorder is associated with high mortality and morbidity, its prompt diagnosis and treatment is feasible. The expected physiologic compensation for a primary increase in serum bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3 ]), i.e., metabolic alkalosis, is hypoventilation that increases par...

BACKGROUND When obtaining an arterial blood sample via percutaneous puncture, there is a risk of accidentally obtaining venous blood. Conventional methods of confirming arterial blood at the bedside, such as blood color and pulsatile return, can be misleading in patients with low blood pressure or hypoxemia. OBJECTIVE To determine if the arterial sampler filling time can be an accurate indic...
