4. WHY ABG !!
To document respiratory failure and assess its
severity.
To monitor patients on ventilators and assist
in weaning.
To assess acid base imbalance in critical
illness.
To assess response to therapeutic
interventions and mechanical ventilation.
To assess pre-op patients.
NB: NOT EVERY DYSPNIC PATIENT NEEDSABG
(e.g. BA,CHF,ESRDWITH MILD SYMPTOMS)
5. Why an ABG instead of Pulse
oximetry ?
Pulse oximetry does not assess
ventilation (pCO2) or acid base status.
Pulse oximetry becomes unreliable
when saturations fall below 70-80%.
Technical sources of error (ambient or
fluorescent light, hypoperfusion, nail
polish, skin pigmentation)
Pulse oximetry cannot interpret
methemoglobin or carboxyhemoglobin.

11. INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ABG..CONT
• PH MEASURES THE HYDROGEN(H+)IONS IN
THE BLOOD..
• PH OF THE BLOOD IS USUALLY KEPT
BETWEEN 3.35 - 4.45 and RESULTS ABOVE
CONSIDERED ALKALOSIS AND BELOW IS
CONSIDERED ACIDOSIS..
• KEPP IN MIND THAT RESULTS BETWEEN 3.35-
4.45 IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL AND CAN
REFLECT COMPENSATED ACID BASE
DISORDER…..
24. INTERPRETITION OF ABG
WHENYOU INTERPRETE THE ABG
DEPEND ON THE OPTIMAL
FIGURES
PH 7.40 PCO2 40 HCO3 24
ANION GAP 10 +/- 2
AG =Na –OCH + LC( 3) OR
Na – CL –HCO3
26. How to CONFIRM THAT ABG IS TRUE!!
USE HANDERSON-HASELBALCH EQUATION
[H+] = 24(PaCO2 )/ [HCO3 -]
27.
28. PEARLES
WORK ONLY IFYOU CALCULATETHEANION GAP
(AG) CORRECTLY..
ABG AND BIOCHEM. DRAWN ATTHE SAMETIME
HAVVALUESWITHIN /+- 2 OF EACH OTHER..
THERE IS AN SD OF ABOUT 3ON EACH FORMULA
WEWILL USE 24 FOR HCO3 AND 10-12 FOR AG..
ALWAYS BE SURE THAT DIAGNOSIS IS
CONSISTANT HISTORYANDTHE PH ..
YOU CAN HAVE MULTIPLE METABOLIC
DISORDERS BUT ONLY A SINGLE RESPIRATORY
DISORDER..
29. PEARLS…CONTINUED
INTERPRETE USINGTHE OPTIMAL FIGURES: PH 7.40
PCO2 40 HCO3 24 so results above or below
should be considered abnormal until finishing
evaluation.
PCO2 AND HCO3 ARE CLOSE FRIENDS! Move
up or down togather but within limits.
Compensation for metabolic disorder is single
phase while for respiratory two phases(acute
and chronic)..
LUNG STARTTO COMPENSATE WITHIN 1-3
MINUTES WHILE KIDNEYSTAKES HOURSTO
DAYS..
30.
31. PH < 3.35 indicates ACIDEMIA..
PH > 4.45 indicates ALKALOSIS..
PH BELOW 6.8 AND ABOVE 7.8 IS
INCOMPATABLEWITH LIFE..MEANS DEATH
DON’T FORGET THAT PH BETWEEN 3.35 -
4.45 IS THE NORMAL RANGE BUT
DOESN’T RULE OUT ABNORMAL ACID
BASE DISORDER ..!!!!YOU SHOULD LOOK
TO ALL PARAMETERS ANDTHE ANION
GAP..

37. • IN GENERAL WE USE THIS EQUATION
AG = NA –CL-HCO3
72. SUMMERY OF ABG APPROACH 1
Step 1: is it reliable ? HANDERSON-HASELBALCH
STEP2 : Comprehensive history and physical
examination.
STEP 3 : Acidosis or alkalosis..? See the pH (7.40)
STEP 4 : Identify the primary disorder See the change
in PCo2 & HCO3
STEP 5 : Calculate the compensatory response Is IT
adequately compensated???
STEP 6 : Calculate Anion Gap ESPECIALLY IN
Metabolic Acidosis
STEP 7 : Calculate the Delta Gap= DELTA-DELTA =
DELTA AG (unmask hidden mixed disorders) ..
73. SUMMERY OF ABG APPROACH 2
STEP -8 : Calculate the osmolar gap (for
HighAG acidosis)
STEP -9 : Calculate the urinary anion gap (IN
Non AG MetabolicAcidosis)
STEP -10 : Formulate Differential Diagnosis

75. CASE 1 ANSWER B
AG = 140 – 95 – 24 =21 HIGH AG MEANS
SHE HAS HAGMA (DUETO RENAL
FAILURE)
SHE has vomiting and receiving
furosemide which causes METABOLIC
ALKALOSISWHICH NORMALISES THE
PH AND HCO3..
DELAT AG = 21-10 = 11

D-LACTATE
ALL EXCEPT TOPIRAMATE CAN CAUSE HAGMA.
NO OSMOLAL GAP SO NO METANOL!
NO HISTORY OF ACETAMINOPHEN USE OR

E-RESPIRATORY ACIDOSISONLY.
96. CASE 13 ANSWER
THE ANSWER IS B
PH SHOWES ACIDOSIS.HE HAS COPDWITH
PCO2 70,SO HIS EXPECTED HCO3 IS 36..
NOW HIS HCO3 IS 24 MEANS 10 BELOW
EXPECTED SO HE HAS METAB. ACIDOSIS.
AG IS HIGH 145-95-24=26
DELTA AG =26-10=16
ADDTHE 16TOTHE MEASURED HCO3
16+24=40
As we said if >30 there is METABOLIC ALK.
97. Conclusions
Acid-base disturbances are easy to analyze if
approached systematically
Determine primary abnormalities based on pH
Calculate the anion gap
Calculate the delta gap and add to the
measured HCO3
Calculate an anion gap on EVERY chemistry
you see
If there is an elevated anion gap, remember to
get an ABG!!
