Learning objectives

Understand the basics of Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) interpretations and recognise and interpret the values and their clinical implications.

Grasp the concept of respiratory and metabolic deviations in ABG analysis and differentiate between them.
Explore the concept of compensation, both complete and partial, in the setting of acid-base disturbances, and understand the compensation mechanisms the body uses in response to these imbalances.
Apply knowledge of ABG interpretation to hypothetical case studies which may mimic exam scenarios, to reinforce learning and prepare for future assessments.
