Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs)| Interpretation

[@calmattimes848]

Very clear! I like that there are some examples because most videos talk about what is acidosis and alkalosis but doesn't show how to actually apply it to ABGs

[@VeroniqueOBrien]

Your explanation finally makes sense of ABGs. Thank you, Dr Matt.

[@JayJay-xm2uk]

Thank you so much, this was really helpful as I was still struggling with ABG’s

[@dr.kelechimusic]

Thank you for your clear explanation

[@smoothoperator6942]

Thank you, this is an exceptionally well done video that has helped me to understand ABG.

[@howtomedicate]

Yea! I was waiting for a new video. It is always good to recap blood gases 😏👍

[@benjaminfox7105]

Thanks Dr Matt! A very clear and detailed analysis of ABG's! I've said many times, I'm amazed at the body's ability to compensate when things go wrong.
Thanks again!

[@nermana1377]

Thank you a lot! 🤗 You helped me with my pharmacy exam.

[@blacktongs]

Thank you for explaining a complex process without making my brain explode

Love the lecture dr thanks a lot from india 🌸🌸

[@ranasalem3802]

Great job 👏

[@paulpablo2543]

Brilliant. Thanks

[@andrewnguyen2914]

Hello Dr.Matt , for example #4 why the answer is metabolic acidosis instead of respiratory alkalosis ? , i have tried to use the ROME method but i did not quite get the result.

[@sonkesonke5423]

Thanks doc we'll presented

[@ytautube]

Thanks. this explained nicely.

[@flojo44254]

Thank you Doc

[@doctorhouse7070]

Thank you.

[@SuperMontanatana]

This is very useful. Thank you very much!!

[@faizanahmed5368]

Amazing, thanks a lot!

[@belalalgamal7731]

Excellent explanation please can you explain mixed disorders

[@helenbaffo7189]

wow thank you so much xx

[@masilafdo3684]

Thank you

[@wernerrojo7321]

excellent video thank you.

[@sochein]

Appreciated

[@IHappyChicken]

Than you!

[@sylviekins]

Thank you so much!

[@The4sd]

in the last case so the word "rome" is not counted?? we juust check which valor is far from normal range and that one let us understand if is metbolic or respiratory??????

[@amiragh2894]

Thanks for the video
I have a question though, you said at 13;25 that to compensate a metabolic alkalosis the CO2 levels would drop.. i though it would go up? it would be helpful to get an answer

[@DrMattDrMike]

Yes, you are quite right! What I mean was a drop in breathing rate not Co2 levels...You are correct with the Co2 wanting to increase to compensate..I do apologize.

[@cassaundrasmithcasey8954]

O. M. G. GOT IT!!! ❤🎁🙏

[@alqudsislam6819]

thank you a lot, you are super

[@andych92]

Yeah, but how can you tell what the primary issue is, if, Let's day, the ph is normal, but there are disorders in both co2, and hco3 in more or less equal proportion? Which is primary and which is secondary

[@suggarachel]

You made it so clear😊
In example 3 you have PaO2 at 105 i thought it only went up to 100

[@juliette6373]

I think it's just a range not a limit. But I think when he said that 105 was normal, that was a mistake)

[@AlshimaaShawky-c9p]

Thanks alot

[@natashairiawan9583]

AMAZING

[@amania7359]

Hello, in example #2 why you said metabolic problem and HCO3 level is within the normal range (24)

[@mr.truffles9294]

Thank you so much.
Subscribed 👍

[@hinarao26]

Very clear

[@cosimop1539]

Why do we consider HCO3- ions instead of HPO4-, analysing buffering system, if its pKa would be more similar to blood's PH?

[@LaLaBlahBlahh]

I’m a but confused about which values he is looking at when he talks about ROME. Like which values do we look at to see if they’re opposite or equal?

[@elzaelizabeth106]

excellent

[@alessia3568]

In example 1, why wouldn't HCO3- just be high due to the high CO2? Wouldn't the equilibrium naturally increase both H+ and HCO3-?
HELP!!

[@TheABBYcdefg]

This is partially compensated. Renal compensation is slow (takes days), so kidneys are still compensating.

[@brianchristopherfernando6282]

Thank you!

[@stoic_ape9518]

Holy cow its the other half of the channel

[@myronn09]

How do’s dissolved CO2 play a part in this?

[@timlake9549]

@9:50
"It's trying to make more of this [HCO3], to buffer this [H+], to drop the pH".
If you drop pH, things become more acidic, not less.
Did you mean "drop the concentration of H+"(increase the pH?)".

[@anuradiperera9427]

HI, could you interpret this ABG for me please?Pa02 7.5 kPa
pH 7.19
PaC02 7.55 kPa
HC03 18.0 mmol-1
B.E -6.0 mmol-1
Sa02 .86
Hb 8g/dl
Fi02 .70(70%)

[@RZ-bo1mf]

thank you!!!!

[@rachelschultz6472]

I have hypoxia and my pulmonologist ordered me to be on 2 liters of oxygen, sleep study and angiogram to rule out shunt. The NP in her office wants me to get a bubble echo, blood gasket, sleep study and last angiogram. I’m confused what is the best way to go about all of these test!

[@DrMattDrMike]

Thanks for the message Rachel, I do hope you get to the bottom of the cause of your hypoxia. I suggest you follow the guidance of the specialist and see the result/s of the tests they have scheduled for you. We wish you all the very best
