Module 4
Acid-Base Balance and Arterial Blood Gases
1
Understanding ABG Report Components
Identify the components of an Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) report (pH, PaCO2, PaO2, HCO3).
2
Interpreting ABG Values: Primary Acid-Base Disturbances
Determine the primary acid-base disturbance (metabolic or respiratory acidosis or alkalosis) using ABG values.
3
Anion Gap Calculation in Metabolic Acidosis
Calculate the anion gap to differentiate between high anion gap and normal anion gap metabolic acidosis.
4
Metabolic and Respiratory Compensation in Acid-Base Disorders
Assess for appropriate metabolic or respiratory compensation in simple acid-base disorders using established formulas (e.g., Winter's formula).
