Basic ABG Interpretation | Arterial Blood Gases (Part 3)

In this third lesson we start to begin discussing how we do the actual arterial blood gas interpretation and analysis. We hope this video lesson will help you in understanding blood gases and the process we go through to be able to interpret them.

We start with an introduction to serve as a primer of knowledge that you will use when doing the blood gas interpretation. We explain the basics of how these different values are adjusted by the body as well as the impact that they have on our patients and their arterial blood gas results.

From there we talk about the 4 main types of disturbances that you will encounter. Respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and metabolic alkalosis.

From there, we go on to talk about the 4 steps that you go through when starting any blood gas interpretation. We then move on to a series of examples in which we walk you through using these 4 steps in these basic abg interpretations.

Hello, what do the FHHb and and FO2Hb mean in these testing? And what would cause abnormalities? (E.g FHHb 47 and FO2Hb 51.5)

[LB]

great video. However I would love some explanation regarding when the ABG is compensated or partially compensated. Thats where I get confused.

[DivyaYadav-hfuo]

Please upload ECG reading video.. I will be waiting for the next uploads, Thank you

i wondering how increase of HCO3 absorption by the kidneys => make ph more alkaline?
as i get rid of alkaline base i thought that will make ph more acidic
