This 14-page reference helps clinicians interpret arterial blood gas (ABG) and acid-base results. It provides a systematic 7-step approach for analysis. The material covers normal values, primary disorder identification, and expected compensation.
The reference includes details on Winter's formula, the Boston rule table, and the anion gap with albumin correction. It also discusses the delta ratio for identifying additional metabolic processes. Mixed and triple acid-base disorders are covered, along with oxygenation assessment using A-a gradient and P/F ratio. Seven worked clinical cases show the method in practice.
What is inside
Taken from the product sheet on our store page, unchanged:
Stop second-guessing a gas at 3 a.m. This 14-page reference walks the full 7-step systematic approach to any arterial blood gas: normal values, primary disorder identification, expected compensation with the complete Winter's-formula and Boston-rule table, the anion gap with the albumin correction most clinicians skip (and that hides high-AG acidosis in a third of ICU patients), the delta ratio to catch a second hidden metabolic process, MUDPILES causes of high-AG metabolic acidosis, mixed and triple acid-base disorders, and A-a gradient / P/F ratio oxygenation assessment with Berlin ARDS staging. Seven fully worked clinical cases show the whole method applied end to end, including the classic traps (DKA plus vomiting, salicylate toxicity, an albumin-hidden anion gap). Every formula cites its original source with a DOI or PMID you can verify yourself -- no invented cutoffs. Includes a companion Excel workbook with live formulas: enter pH, PaCO2, HCO3, Na, Cl and albumin and get the anion gap, corrected AG, delta ratio, Winter's expected PaCO2, and disorder classification flags instantly.
