Overview
l Historical Context
![Page 5: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why take a blood gas?
![Page 6: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Contraversy
l What do you think about using a “venous blood gas”?
![Page 7: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
pH
• Good correlation• pooled mean difference: +0.035 pH units
![Page 8: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
pCO2
• Good correlation in normocapnia• Non-correlative in severe shock• 100% sensitive in screening for arterial
hypercarbia in COPD exacerbation using cut points of PaCO2 45 mmHg (6KPA) and lab testing (McCanny et al, 2012)
![Page 9: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bicarbonate
• Good correlation• Mean difference −1.41 mmol/L (−5.8 to
+5.3 mmol/L 95%CI)
![Page 10: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Lactate
l Poor correlations above 2 mmol/Ll Mean difference 0.08 (-0.27 – 0.42 95%CI)
![Page 11: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Base Excess
• Good correlation• Mean difference 0.089 mmol/L (–0.974 to
+0.552 95%CI)
![Page 12: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Oxygen
• PO2 values compare poorly• arterial PO2 is typically 36.9 mmHg greater
than the venous with significant variability
![Page 13: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Clinical Scenarios suited to VBG
l Diabetic Emergencies – i.e. DKA, HHSl Septic Screeningl Monitor (Hyponatraemia, HB monitoring)l Possibly Traumal ?Others
l When might you use this in your practice?
![Page 14: Blood Gases Workshop 2021 - ANZGMU](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052518/628c34569c0b4252d13d2893/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ABG required if…• Accurate measurement of PaCO2 in shock• Accurate measurement of PaCO2 if
hypercapnic (i.e. PaCO2 >45 mmHg)• Accurate Lactate• PO2 for planning (Electively)• PO2 acutely is saturations problematic• Equivocal Cases

WHY? CO₂ stores are extensive
Put this in your alveolar gas equation PAO₂ = FiO₂ (760-47))–pCO₂ /R0.8
147- 102 only 45 at best without considering abnormal lungs24% would give at best 60 but she has a big a/A gradient
Needed 28% at least to prevent rebound hypoxia

What happened?
lRebound – Why?lBody’s CO₂ stores are very large lStop the oxygen, pO₂ drops quickly
lpCO₂ does not, especially if very high – in this case the alveolar oxygen pressure can drop below where it was before O₂ commenced

What is her anion Gap?Na – [HCO3 – Cl]= 141 – 15 – 116 = 10
