Description
Overview:This course provides a comprehensive introduction to arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. It covers the physiology behind acid-base balance and respiratory function. Students will learn how to properly collect an ABG sample and handle it for analysis. The key parameters analyzed in an ABG like pH, pCO2, pO2, HCO3 etc. will be discussed in detail. Real ABG values from various clinical scenarios will be used to teach students how to interpret an ABG report and identify the underlying acid-base and/or respiratory disorders. Common disorders like respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis and mixed disorders will be emphasized along with their clinical presentations. The course also discusses various disease states where ABG analysis plays an important role in diagnosis and management such as respiratory failure, shock, diabetic ketoacidosis, renal failure etc. Pre and post treatment ABG values will be analyzed to understand the resolution of disorders.Course Objectives:- Understand the physiology of acid-base balance and respiration- Learn the proper technique of arterial puncture and sample collection- Interpret ABG reports and identify the underlying acid-base and respiratory disorders – Apply ABG analysis in common clinical scenarios and disease states- Monitor treatment effectiveness through serial ABG evaluationsThis course provides a practical approach to understand ABG analysis – from physiology to clinical application. It aims to equip healthcare practitioners with essential skills to accurately evaluate and manage patients based on ABG reports.
