    ABG Flow Chart

    Uploaded by

    cpradheep
    This document presents a chart for analyzing arterial blood gases (ABG) results. It shows whether metabolic or respiratory acidosis/alkalosis is present based on combinations of pH, PaCO2, and base excess levels. Normal ranges are provided for pH, PaCO2, PaO2, base excess, and bicarbonate. Analyzing ABG results involves considering pH, PaCO2, and base excess levels together to determine if acid-base imbalances are due to respiratory or metabolic factors.
