4. Indication
Any sick child
✓ABGA plays an important role in critically ill children with respiratory
distress.
✓Reveals oxygenation status,
✓Adequacy of ventilation and acid-base balance.
✓Significant role in documenting and monitoring respiratory failure,
especially during ventilator and oxygen therapy.
• IT helps in making diagnosis , assessing severity and titrating the
treatment
5. EQUIPMENT
Blood gas kit
• 1ml/2ml syringe
• 23-26 gauge needle
• Stopper or cap
• Alcohol swab
• Disposible gloves
• Plastic bag& crushed ice
• Lidocaine(optional)
• Vial of heparin(1:1000)
• Bar code or label
6. PREPARATORY PHASE:
• Record patient inspired oxygen concentration
• Check patient temperature
• Explain the procedure to the patient
• Provide privacy for client
• If not using heparinised syringe,heparanize the needle
• Perform allen’s test
• Wait at least 20 minutes before drawing blood for ABG after
initiating,changing,or discontinuing oxygen therapy,or
settings of mechanical ventilation,after suctioning the
patient or after extubation
7. ALLEN’S TEST
• It is a test done to determine that collateral circulation is present
from the ulnar artery in case thrombosis occur in the radial
8. Sites for obtaining ABG
• Radial artery(most common)
• Brachial artery
• Femoral artery
Radial is the most preferable site used because:
• It is easy to access
• It is not a deep artery which facilitate
palpation,stabilization and puncturing
• The artery has a collateral blood circulation
10. PERFORMANCE PHASE
• Wash hands
• Put on gloves
• Palpate the artery for maximum pulsation
• If radial,perform Allen’s test
• Place a small towel roll under the patient wrist
• Instruct the patient to breath normally durning the test and warn him that
he may feel brief cramping or throbbing pain at the puncture site
• Clean with alcohol swab in circular motion
• Skin and subcutaneous tissue may be infiltrated with local anesthetic agent
if needed
11. • Insert needle at 45 radial, 60 brachial and 90
femoral
• Withdraw the needle and apply digital pressure
• Check bubbles in syringe
• Place the capped syringe in the container of ice
immediately
• Maintain firm pressure on the puncture site for 5
minutes, if patient has coagulation abnormalities
apply pressure for 10-15 minutes
12. Follow up phase:
• Send labelled,iced specimen to the lab
immediately
• Palpate the pulse distal to the puncture site
• Assess for cold hands,numbness,tingling or
discoloration
• Documentation include: results of Allen’s test, time
the sample was drawn,temperature,puncture
site,time pressure was applied and if O2 therapy is
there
• Make sure its noted on the slip whether the
patient is breathing room air or oxygen. If
oxygen,document the number of litres. If the
patient is receiving mechanical ventilation,FIO2
should be documented
13. Errors in ABG
Excessive heparin
•Dilution Effect on Results decrease in HCO3 - & PaCO2
•Only .05 ml Heparin required for 1ml blood
•So syringe be emptied of heparin after flushing or
only dead space volume is sufficient or dry heparin
should be used
14. AIR BUBBLES
1. PO2 150 mmHg & PCO2 0mm Hg in air bubble(R.A)
2. Mixing with sample,lead to increase PaO2 & decrease in PaCO2
To avoid air bubble,sample drawn very slowly and preferabily in glass
syringe
Steady State:
Sampling should be done during steady state after change in oxygen
therapy or ventilator parameter
Steady state is achieved usually within 3-10 minutes
15. Dilution of blood sample with IV fluids
• Dilution of blood sample with IV fluid will typically lower the PaCO2
and increase the basedeficit without affecting the pH
• This is probably because of the diffusion of CO2 from blood onto the
IV fluid,which contains no CO2.
• Because of the buffering capacityof the blood,the pH changes
little,despite the decrease in PaCO2,giving the appearance of a
combined metabolic acidosis and respiratory alkalosis.
• Dilution of a blood gas sample with a liquid emulsion does not appear
to have any affect on the blood gas measurements. Dry heparin also
does not affect blood gas results.
24. Approach to ABG
• ABG should never be interpreted alone
• Previous blood gases
• Patient clinical status
• X-ray
• Other investigations e.g. Sepsis screening
• You have to treat the patient not the blood gas go with the clinical
picture
30. COMPENSATION
Respiratory compensation
• Respiratory compensation
• Starts within minutes
• complete within 12-24 days
Metabolic compensation
• Starts within Hours
• complete within 2-5 days
• renal base excretion faster
31.
32. Compensation by Respiratory Response to
Metabolic Acidosis
✓Predicted Change in PCO2 = (1.5 x HCO3 + 8)± 2
✓If patient’s PCO2 is roughly this value, his or her response is
appropriate
✓If patient’s PCO2 is higher than this value, they are failing to
compensate adequately
Metabolic Alkalosis
✓Every 10 mmHCO3 increase PaCO2 7
33. In respiratory acidosis, for every 10mm increase in
PaCO2 , HCO3 is increased by 1 in acute condition
and by 3.5 in chronic condition
In respiratory alkalosis, for every 10mmHg
decrease in PaCO2 , HCO3 is decreased by 2 in
acute and by 4 in chronic condition
Compensation by Metabolic Response to
37. Oxygenation Status
o Depends upon age & inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2)
o Normal value of PaO2 is 80-100 mm of Hg in children and adults
o Newborn it ranges from 40-70 mm of Hg
o On oxygen therapy the value of PaO2 will high (PaO2 = FiO2 × 5)
o Oxygen supplementation should below 60% to avoid toxicity
o Anemic patient may have normal PaO2 and SaO2 but final delivery of
O2 to the tissues
will be compromised
o Generally oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2)
lower than arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) measured directly by
blood gas analysis.
39. Simple or Mixed Disorder
• In simple acid base disorder, both PaCO2 and HCO3– change in the
same direction
• If they do not follow this trend, the possibility of mixed disorder is
likely
• The expected compensation for simple acid base disorder is
predetermined and
• if they deviate from the norms there is the possibility of mixed
disorder
40. Anion gap
• Difference of unmeasured cations & Anions
• Anion gap(AG)= Na+k-(Cl+HCO3)
• Normal AG Acidosis: RTA, Diarrhoea
• Increase AG acidosis: lactic acidosis,ketoacidosis,uremia
• Normal 8-12
• If >12= high anion gas acidosis
• If <12= non anion gas acidosis

• for 2 days , ABGA was showing following
• pH =7.39
• PaCO2=40.2q

• HCO3= 22.1
• BE=-0.8
• What is your diagnosis ?

did ABGA which reveals the following results:
what is your interpretation
PaO2: 68.2 mmHg (82.5 – 97.5 mmHg)
