ABCs of ABGs: Simple Acid-base Disorders (Part 1)
Join us for a discussion on the basic principles of blood gas analysis, with a focus on acid-base balance and respiratory/metabolic disorders and an understanding of the associated arterial blood gas (ABG) values. This webinar will help to simplify the assessment and identification of these disorders.
ABCs of ABG: Mixed Acid/Base Disorders (Part 2)
Join us as we review the anion gap and delta ratio to understand the usefulness of these calculations in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders. Mixed acid/base disorders and their corresponding etiologies are presented. Many clinical examples are shared that help to simplify the assessment of these disorders.

ABCs of ABG: Pearls and Pitfalls of Acid-base Analysis (Part 3)
You are invited to the final presentation of this three-part series
This session:
- Addresses the use of arterial vs. venous blood gas measurements.
- Discusses measured vs. calculated bicarbonate values.
- Reviews lactate as a predictor of mortality and the relevance of an osmolality measurement.
Clinical examples are shared to illustrate the interpretation of blood gas results for a proper and definitive diagnosis.
