چکیده
This is the first of a two-part unit on arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, and focuses on background information and basic interpretation of ABGs where no evident compensation is taking place. It discusses the various components on an ABG report, the normal ranges and the significance of abnormal readings. A detailed step-by-step guide to ABG interpretation is available in the Portfolio Pages for this unit at nursingtimes.net, as well as practice examples.
