    This document provides information about arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. It discusses the components of an ABG test including pH, PCO2, PO2, and bicarbonate levels. The purpose of an ABG analysis is to evaluate how effectively the lungs are delivering oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide, and how well the lungs and kidneys are maintaining acid-base balance. It also describes how oxygen is measured in the blood through partial pressure and oxygen saturation. Various acid-base imbalances are outlined along with their causes and symptoms.

    ARTERIAL BLOOD GAS

    (ABG) ANALYSIS

    Life is a struggle, not against


    sin, not against the Money
    Power, not against malicious
    animal magnetism, but against
    hydrogen ions."
    H.L. MENCKEN

    What Is An ABG?
    pH - [H+]
    PCO2 - Partial
    pressureCO2
    PO2 -partial pressure
    O2
    HCO3 - Bicarbonate

    Purpose of ABG
    Analysis

    Evaluates how effectively the lungs are


    delivering oxygen to the blood

    Evaluates how efficiently they are


    eliminating carbon dioxide from it.

    Indicates how well the lungs and kidneys


    are interacting to maintain normal blood pH
    (acid-base balance).

    MEASURING
    OXYGEN IN BLOOD

    PaO

    Partial pressure of O is a measure


    of the tension (pressure) of oxygen
    dissolved in plasma.
    2

    SaO2
    Extent to which hemoglobin in
    arterial blood is saturated with the
    oxygen, represents the capacity of
    blood to carry oxygen.

    Oxygen Dissociation Curve

    Pulse oxymetry

    Non invasive method of


    determining oxygen saturation

    pH
    The pH is a
    measurement of the
    acidity or alkalinity of
    the blood.
    It is inversely
    proportional to the no.
    of (H+) in the blood.
    The normal pH range
    is 7.35-7.45.

    ACIDS

    volatile acids

    nonvolatile acids

    BASES
    It is a substance which can accept
    an H ion thereby removing it from
    circulating serum

    Signs of, e.g.


    COPD

    Alkalosis

    Acute
    Dizziness
    hyperventilation, Tingling fingers
    numbness

    Cause

    Sign &
    Symptoms

    Metabolic

    Ketoacidosis
    from diabetes,
    loss of alkali
    from, e.g.
    diarrhea, chronic
    renal failure

    Hyperventilation
    DrowsinessComa
    Arrhythmias (if
    severe)

    Metabolic
    Alkalosis

    Volume depletion Delirium or


    tetany if sever
    Diuretics
    Removal of acid

    Arterial Blood Gases

    PaCO partial pressure of CO


    refers to the pressure or
    tension exerted by dissolved
    CO gas in arterial blood.
    2

    BICARBONATE

    Main base found in the serum


    Helps body regulate the Ph as it
    accept H ion.
