Critical Care Air Methods
Test Questions With Correct
Answers Graded A+
GUARANTEED SUCCESS
Five rules of ABG interpretation - Correct Answer: 1. Evaluate the pH is it normal?
Two. Evaluate the PCO2. Is it acute or chronic for respiratory disorder?
Three. Evaluate the HCO3 and calculate the anion gap for metabolic disorder or delta gap. Check
if metabolic acidosis is present.
Four. Identify the primary disorder.
Five determine if compensation is present in the degree of compensation using winter's formula.
Is there more than one disorder?
Anion gap formula, and normal values - Correct Answer: AG = NA -(Cl + HCO3). Normal range
12 +/- 4. Abnormal >16
ABG normal ranges - Correct Answer: pH: 7.35 - 7.45
PaCO2: 35 -45
