Understand the Arterial Blood Gas "ABG"! Awesome!

Күн бұрын

Finally, the ABG explained in an easy to understand way! If you want to learn this lab test once and for all, check out this awesome video!
In this video about the arterial blood gas lab (the ABG) I start with an introduction to the basic concepts about an ABG and then talk about the components individually. I give mnemonics and other tips, followed by interpreting a few example ABGs.
HERE ARE TWO BOOKS TO EXPAND YOUR LEARNING ON ABGs
This first one is a cheap & easy, "quick read": amzn.to/3GpLQCT
If it looks like it's self-published, that's because it is (not by me)! However, these two docs do a fantastic job explaining the ABG in easy terms. It gets great reviews, and I own it in my personal library.
This second book is also a popular option for learning the ABG: amzn.to/3T7KDaQ.
**********************
Good luck in school!!

This video got rid of my fear and blindness of ABGs and respiratory/metabolic acid base relationship. I used to completely blank whenever I would see one. Thank you so much

I’m having trouble with differentiating acute and chronic abg ? I understand compensation and chronic means ph is normal range and acute meaning it’s uncompensated because either bicarbonate or paco2 is normal ?

@benclarke5914 4 жыл бұрын

great video ... i have a burning question ... i do not understand how a reduction in HCO3 leads to alkalosis, surly retaining base and secreting Hydrogen ions would make the body even more acidic X2 ?? ... vice versa for alkalosis reversing the process ??

@shadaewitter4710 3 жыл бұрын

Hi. Remember the normal ranges of HCO3 is 22 -26 mEq/ L. If it's less than 22 it's going to be an acidosis,( a build up of hydrogen ions) so your kidneys which are involved in the metabolic component will absorbed Hco3 (hydrogen carbonate ions ) to balance the acid. And if it was greater than 26, it would have been alkalosis, it has a build up of bicarbonate ions. Hence, the kidney would absorbed hydrogen ions which are acids to balance the base ( HCo3). Hope this help you.

I enjoyed this assigned prework video for my IM M3 class from 9 minutes until before the patient vignettes. Thank you for that portion and the work you put into simplifying ABGs. However, it would be nice to not perpetuate negative stereotypes of patients in your clinical vignettes. This thinking and comments (not just you but within the general medical community) create mental shortcuts for medical and health professional students watching your videos that can do a disservice to future patients by putting them into boxes, leading to unconscious biases that may limit students' thinking and miss out on potential diagnoses on the differential or problems that could be addressed. Not to mention, the many reasons why patients from disadvantaged backgrounds fear physicians and the healthcare system in general, necessitating poorer patient compliance with care, treatment, and follow up. The McDonald's comment about an obese Black Male Patient was particularly harsh and the white women with a heroin addiction was a trope. I know you are a good person as you are dedicated to sharing your knowledge and expertise with medical and health care professional students that is why I know you can do better to help address these issues with current and future videos/lectures and in clinical practice in light of the current (disproportionately high black maternal mortality rate and COVID19 deaths/cases in the U.S.) and past medical atrocities (Tuskegee Syphilis Trials, Forced Sterilization, Father of Modern Gynecology/OB experimenting on black women who were enslaved). Thank you for considering these changes.

The simplest of programs could do the interpretation. And simply read out "Respiratory Alkalosis/Metabolic compensation" ...etc. Kind of silly.

I agree with you, however, not every hospital or area would have access to such technology, so its vital nurses and medical professionals are able to interpret the result.
