In this third lesson we start to begin discussing how we do the actual arterial blood gas interpretation and analysis. We hope this video lesson will help you in understanding blood gases and the process we go through to be able to interpret them.

We start with an introduction to serve as a primer of knowledge that you will use when doing the blood gas interpretation. We explain the basics of how these different values are adjusted by the body as well as the impact that they have on our patients and their arterial blood gas results.

From there we talk about the 4 main types of disturbances that you will encounter. Respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and metabolic alkalosis.

From there, we go on to talk about the 4 steps that you go through when starting any blood gas interpretation. We then move on to a series of examples in which we walk you through using these 4 steps in these basic abg interpretations.
