Welcome to EMTLife!
I'm sure some others will be able to give you more information and resources, but have you seen: Interpretation of the Arterial Blood Gas Self-Learning Packet 2004 (PDF) Blood Gas Interpretion (PDF) Arterial Blood Gas Interpretation An AllNurses Discussion of the topic I hope that helps!

Here's a calculator to experiment with ABGs and Anion Gaps. One can not fully appreciate ABGs unless you are aware of the Anion Gap relationship. The site has a few other interesting calculators also.
http://www.medcalc.com/acidbase.html This calculator shows you the relationship as you change the variables. http://www.health.adelaide.edu.au/pa.../AcidBase.html Altitude calculator - Also great site to learn about Altitude situations. http://www.altitude.org/calculators/...calculator.htm Good slide programs: Interpretation of Arterial Blood Gases (66 slides) http://www.lakesidepress.com/ABGinterpretation.ppt Blood Gases in Ventilated Patients http://www.lakesidepress.com/NagpurTalk2.ppt Interpretation of Arterial Blood Gases - Powerpoint Presentation by Dr. Deopujari, India http://www.lakesidepress.com/ABGinterpDrDeopujari.ppt More: DIAGNOSING ACID-BASE DISORDERS FROM SERUM ELECTROLYTES: THE ANION GAP AND THE BICARBONATE GAP http://www.lakesidepress.com/pulmona...carbgap.98.htm The Differences Between PaO2, SaO2 and Oxygen Content. http://www.lakesidepress.com/pulmonary/ABG/PO2.htm Diagnosing Mixed Acid-Base Disorders http://www.lakesidepress.com/pulmonary/ABG/MixedAB.htm It might be wise to start first with the links in the earlier posts. |
