Delayed Analysis
Consumptiom of O2 & Production of CO2 continues after blood drawn
Iced Sample maintains values for 1-2 hours Uniced sample quickly becomes invalid within 15-20 minutes
PaCO2 3-10 mmHg/hour PaO2 pH d/t lactic acidosis generated by glycolysis in R.B.C.

FEVER OR HYPOTHERMIA
1. Most ABG analyzers report data at N body temp2. If severe hyper/hypothermia, values of pH &
PCO2 at 37 C can be significantly diff from pt’s actual values
3. Changes in PO2 values with temp also predictable
Hansen JE, Clinics in Chest Med 10(2), 1989 227-237
If Pt.’s temp < 37C Substract 5 mmHg Po2, 2 mmHg Pco2 and
Add 0.012 pH per 1C decrease of temperature
![Page 6: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
AIR BUBBLES: 1. PO2 150 mmHg & PCO2 0 mm Hg in air bubble(R.A.)
2. Mixing with sample, lead to PaO2 & PaCO2
To avoid air bubble, sample drawn very slowly and preferabily in glass syringe
Steady State:
Sampling should done during steady state after change in oxygen therepy or ventilator parameterSteady state is achieved usually within 3-10 minutes
![Page 7: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Leucocytosis : pH and Po2 ; and Pco2 0.1 ml of O2 consumed/dL of blood in
10 min in pts with N TLC Marked increase in pts with very high
TLC/plt counts – hence imm chilling/analysis essential
EXCESSIVE HEPARIN Dilutional effect on results HCO3
- & PaCO2 Only .05 ml heperin required for 1 ml blood.
So syringe be emptied of heparin after flushing or only dead space volume is sufficient or dry heperin should be used
![Page 8: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
TYPE OF SYRINGE1. pH & PCO2 values unaffected2. PO2 values drop more rapidly in plastic syringes (ONLY
if PO2 > 400 mm Hg) Differences usually not of clinical significance so
plastic syringes can be and continue to be used Risk of alteration of results with:
1. size of syringe/needle2. vol of sample
HYPERVENTILATION OR BREATH HOLDING
May lead to erroneous lab results

COMPONENTS OF THE ABG pH: Measurement of acidity or alkalinity, based on the
hydrogen (H+). 7.35 – 7.45
Pao2 :The partial pressure oxygen that is dissolved in arterial blood. 80-100 mm Hg.
PCO2: The amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in arterial blood. 35– 45 mmHg
HCO3 : The calculated value of the amount of bicarbonate in the blood. 22 – 26 mmol/L
SaO2:The arterial oxygen saturation.
>95% pH,PaO2 ,PaCO2 , Lactate and electrolytes are measured
Variables HCO3 (Measured or calculated)

Contd… Buffer Base:
It is total quantity of buffers in blood including both volatile(Hco3) and nonvolatile (as Hgb,albumin,Po4)
Base Excess/Base Deficit: Amount of strong acid or base needed to restore
plasma pH to 7.40 at a PaCO2 of 40 mm Hg,at 37*C. Calculated from pH, PaCO2 and HCT Negative BE also referred to as Base Deficit True reflection of non respiratory (metabolic) acid
base status Normal value: -2 to +2mEq/L

CENTRAL EQUATION OF ACID-BASE PHYSIOLOGY
Henderson Hasselbach Equation:
where [ H+] is related to pH by
To maintain a constant pH, PCO2/HCO3- ratio should be constant
When one component of the PCO2/[HCO3- ]ratio is altered, the compensatory response alters the other component in the same direction to keep the PCO2/[HCO3- ] ratio constant
[H+] in nEq/L = 24 x (PCO2 / [HCO3 -] )
[ H+] in nEq/L = 10 (9-pH)
![Page 12: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Compensatory response or regulation of pH By 3 mechanisms: Chemical buffers:
React instantly to compensate for the addition or subtraction of H+ ions
CO2 elimination: Controlled by the respiratory system Change in pH result in change in PCO2 within minutes
HCO3- elimination: Controlled by the kidneys Change in pH result in change in HCO3- It takes hours to days and full compensation occurs in 2-
5 days

Steps for ABG analysis1. What is the pH? Acidemia or Alkalemia?2. What is the primary disorder present?3. Is there appropriate compensation?4. Is the compensation acute or chronic?5. Is there an anion gap?6. If there is a AG check the delta gap?7. What is the differential for the clinical
processes?
![Page 15: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Step 1: Look at the pH: is the blood acidemic or
alkalemic?
EXAMPLE : 65yo M with CKD presenting with nausea, diarrhea
and acute respiratory distress ABG :ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr
5.1 ACIDMEIA OR ALKALEMIA ????
![Page 16: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
EXAMPLE ONE ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN
119/ Cr 5.1 Answer PH = 7.23 , HCO3 7 Acidemia
![Page 17: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step 2: What is the primary disorder?
What disorder is present?
pH pCO2 HCO3
Respiratory Acidosis
pH low high high
Metabolic Acidosis pH low low low
Respiratory Alkalosis
pH high low low
Metabolic Alkalosis
pH high high high
![Page 18: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Contd….Metabolic Conditions are suggested if pH changes in the same direction as pCO2 or pH is abnormal but pCO2 remains unchanged
Respiratory Conditions are suggested if:pH changes in the opp direction as pCO2 or pH is abnormal but HCO3- remains unchanged

EXAMPLE
ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr 5.
PH is low , CO2 is Low PH and PCO2 are going in same directions then its
most likely primary metabolic

EXPECTED CHANGES IN ACID-BASE DISORDERS
Primary Disorder Expected Changes
Metabolic acidosis PCO2 = 1.5 × HCO3 + (8 ± 2) Metabolic alkalosis PCO2 = 0.7 × HCO3 + (21 ± 2) Acute respiratory acidosis delta pH = 0.008 × (PCO2 - 40) Chronic respiratory acidosis delta pH = 0.003 × (PCO2 - 40) Acute respiratory alkalosis delta pH = 0.008 × (40 - PCO2) Chronic respiratory alkalosis delta pH = 0.003 × (40 - PCO2)
From: THE ICU BOOK - 2nd Ed. (1998) [Corrected]
![Page 21: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Step 3-4: Is there appropriate compensation? Is it chronic or acute? Respiratory Acidosis
Acute (Uncompensated): for every 10 increase in pCO2 -> HCO3 increases by 1 and there is a decrease of 0.08 in pH
Chronic (Compensated): for every 10 increase in pCO2 -> HCO3 increases by 4 and there is a decrease of 0.03 in pH
Respiratory Alkalosis Acute (Uncompensated): for every 10 decrease in pCO2 ->
HCO3 decreases by 2 and there is a increase of 0.08 in PH Chronic (Compensated): for every 10 decrease in pCO2 -> HCO3
decreases by 5 and there is a increase of 0.03 in PH
Partial Compensated: Change in pH will be between 0.03 to 0.08 for every 10 mmHg change in PCO2
![Page 22: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Step 3-4: Is there appropriate compensation? Metabolic Acidosis
Winter’s formula: Expected pCO2 = 1.5[HCO3] + 8 ± 2 OR pCO2 = 1.2 ( HCO3) If serum pCO2 > expected pCO2 -> additional respiratory
acidosis and vice versa Metabolic Alkalosis
Expected PCO2 = 0.7 × HCO3 + (21 ± 2) OR pCO2 = 0.7 ( HCO3) If serum pCO2 < expected pCO2 - additional respiratory
alkalosis and vice versa
![Page 23: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
EXAMPLE ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr 5.
Winter’s formula : 17= 1.5 (7) +8 ±2 = 18.5(16.5 – 20.5)
So correct compensation so there is only one disorder Primary metabolic

Step 5: Calculate the anion gap AG used to assess acid-base status esp in D/D of
met acidosis AG & HCO3
- used to assess mixed acid-base disorders
AG based on principle of electroneutrality: Total Serum Cations = Total Serum Anions Na + (K + Ca + Mg) = HCO3 + Cl + (PO4 + SO4
+ Protein + Organic Acids) Na + UC = HCO3 + Cl + UA Na – (HCO3 + Cl) = UA – UC Na – (HCO3 + Cl) = AG Normal =12 ± 2
![Page 25: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Contd… AG corrected = AG + 2.5[4 – albumin] If there is an anion Gap then calculate the
Delta/delta gap (step 6) to determine additional hidden nongap metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis
If there is no anion gap then start analyzing for non-anion gap acidosis
![Page 26: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
EXAMPLE Calculate Anion gap
ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr 5/
Albumin 2.
AG = Na – Cl – HCO3 (normal 12 ± 2) 123 – 97 – 7 = 19
AG corrected = AG + 2.5[4 – albumin] = 19 + 2.5 [4 – 2] = 19 + 5 = 24
![Page 27: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Step 6: Calculate Delta Gap Delta gap = (actual AG – 12) + HCO3 Adjusted HCO3 should be 24 (+_ 6) {18-30} If delta gap > 30 -> additional metabolic alkalosis If delta gap < 18 -> additional non-gap metabolic
acidosis If delta gap 18 – 30 -> no additional metabolic
disorders

EXAMPLE : Delta Gap ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr 5/
Albumin 4.
Delta gap = (actual AG – 12) + HCO3
(19-12) +7 = 14 Delta gap < 18 -> additional non-gap
metabolic acidosisSo Metabolic acidosis anion and non
anion gap

Metobolic acidosis: Anion gap acidosis
![Page 30: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
EXAMPLE: WHY ANION GAP? 65yo M with CKD presenting with nausea, diarrhea
and acute respiratory distress ABG :ABG 7.23/17/235 on 50% VM BMP Na 123/ Cl 97/ HCO3 7/BUN 119/ Cr
5.1 So for our patient for anion gap portion its due
to BUN of 119 UREMIA But would still check lactic acid
![Page 31: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Nongap metabolic acidosis For non-gap metabolic acidosis, calculate the urine anion
gap URINARY AG
Total Urine Cations = Total Urine AnionsNa + K + (NH4 and other UC) = Cl + UA(Na + K) + UC = Cl + UA(Na + K) – Cl = UA – UC (Na + K) – Cl = AG
Distinguish GI from renal causes of loss of HCO3 by estimating Urinary NH4+ .
Hence a -ve UAG (av -20 meq/L) seen in GI, while +ve value (av +23 meq/L) seen in renal problem.
UAG = UNA + UK – UCL

Case1. 7.27/58/60 on 5L, HCO3
- 26, anion gap is 12, albumin is 4.0 1. pH= Acidemia (pH < 7.4) 2.CO2= Acid (CO2>40) Opposite direction so Primary disturbance =
Respiratory Acidosis 3 &4: Compensation : Acute or chronic? ACUTE
CO2 has increased by (58-40)=18 If chronic the pH will decrease 0.05 (0.003 x 18 =
0.054) pH would be 7.35 If acute the pH will decrease 0.14 (0.008 x 18 = 0.144)
pH would be 7.26.
![Page 37: Blood Gas Analysis and it’s Clinical Interpretation Dr R.S.Gangwar MD, PDCC, FIPM Assistant Professor Geriatric ICU,DGMH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e398/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Contd. 5: Anion gap –N/A 6: There is an acute respiratory acidosis, is there
a metabolic problem too? ΔHCO3
- = 1 mEq/L↑/10mmHg↑pCO2
The pCO2 is up by 18 so it is expected that the HCO3-
will go up by 1.8. Expected HCO3- is 25.8, compared to
the actual HCO3- of 26, so there is no additional
metabolic disturbance.

Contd… 5:Anion gap – N/A 6: There is an acute respiratory alkalosis, is
there a metabolic problem too? ΔHCO3
- = 2 mEq/L↓/10mmHg↓pCO2
The pCO2 is down by 16 so it is expected that the HCO3
- will go down by 3.2. Expected HCO3- is 20.8,
compared to the actual HCO3- of 20, so there is no
additional metabolic disturbance. Dx-ACUTE RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS

Contd…. 5: Anion gap – N/A 6: There is a chronic respiratory alkalosis, is
there a metabolic problem also? Chronic: ΔHCO3
- = 4 mEq/L↓/10mmHg↓pCO2
The pCO2 is down by 20 so it is expected that the HCO3
- will go down by 8. Expected HCO3- is 16,
therefore there is no additional metabolic disorder.

Contd… Anion Gap = 10 (alb normal so no correction necessary) 6: There is an acute respiratory acidosis, is there a metabolic
problem too? ∆ HCO3
- = 1 mEq/L↑/10mmHg↑pCO2
The HCO3- will go up 1mEq/L for every 10mmHg the pCO2goes up
above 40 The pCO2 is up by 6 so it is expected that the HCO3
- will go up by 0.6. Expected HCO3
- is 24.6, compared to the actual HCO3- of 20.
Since the HCO3- is lower than expected Non-Anion Gap Metabolic
Acidosis (which we suspected).
