Introduction Arterial blood gas ( ABG) analysis is an essential part of diagnosing and managing a patient’s oxygenation status and acid–base balance. The usefulness of this diagnostic tool is dependent on being able to correctly interpret the results. Disorders of acid–base balance can create complications in many disease states, and occasionally the abnormality may be so severe so as to become a life-threatening risk factor. A thorough understanding of acid–base balance is mandatory ... Abstract Accurate arterial blood gas (ABG) interpretation is essential for primary care providers (PCPs), especially in emergency and inpatient settings where timely, informed decisions can significantly impact patient outcomes. This review guides PCPs from basic to advanced interpretation through a systematic five-step approach for ABG analysis , focussing on oxygenation, pH status, and metabolic and respiratory disorders. Emphasising the recognition of complex acid-base disorders that may ... Abstract Arterial blood gas is a basic investigative tool in monitoring acid base balance of critically ill patients. It is also indispensible in monitoring gas exchange, diagnosing and managing oxygenation. A thorough knowledge regarding ABG interpretation is an absolute necessity for the critical care physician. However, a complete and thorough understanding of arterial blood gases and its interpretation is an arduous task and the literature to guide the interpretation are aplenty and ...
