    Study Notes

    ABG Interpretation Elements

    • ABG Interpretation consists of four essential elements: pH, PaCO2, HCO3, and PaO2
    • Normal ranges for each element:
      • pH: 7.35-7.45
      • PaCO2: 35-45 mmHg
      • HCO3: 22-26 mEq/L
      • PaO2: 80-100 mmHg
      • Sao2: 95-99%

    Interpretation of ABG Results

    • Increased pH value:
      • Indicates alkalemia or alkalosis
      • Can be due to respiratory acidosis or metabolic alkalosis
    • Decreased pH value:
      • Indicates acidemia or acidosis
      • Can be due to respiratory alkalosis or metabolic acidosis

    Oxygen Therapy and Hypoxemia

    • Oxygen therapy is indicated for hypoxemic patients
    • Degree of hypoxemia:
      • Mild: PaO2 < 80 mmHg
      • Moderate: PaO2 < 70 mmHg
      • Severe: PaO2 < 60 mmHg

    Case Study Example

    • Given values: pH 7.41, PaCO2 30, HCO3 18
    • Interpretation:
      • pH: Normal
      • PaCO2: Abnormal (indicating respiratory alkalosis)
      • HCO3: Abnormal (indicating metabolic acidosis)
