This session is designed to give the audience an understanding of the issues which should be considered when acid-base analysis is performed.

A discussion on the principles of blood gas analysis, with a focus on Mixed Acid/Base Disorders

Arterial blood gases or ABGs are important routine investigations to monitor the acid base balance of patients. They assist in making diagnosis of pulmonary and metabolic disorders. This webinar is an overview of the simple acid-base disorders.
