Blood Gases
• Important diagnostic tool• Reveals:
1. acid-base balance
2. oxygenation status**arterial gases only**
3. abnormalities of ventilation

Acid- base balance
• The body is designed for optimum performance at a specific pH level
• Cell division• Metabolism

Components of Acid- Base Balance• pH- measures the bloods acidity
– Normal range 7.35- 7.45– Overall H+ from both respiratory and metabolic factors
• pCO2- partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood– Normal range 35-45 mmHg– Snapshot of adequacy of alveolar ventilation
• HCO3- the amount of bicarbonate in the blood– Normal range 22- 26 mEq/L

Acid – Base Balance
Bicarbonate – carbonic acid buffer equation
(H+)(HCO3) (H2CO3) (CO2)(H2O)
It’s not that complicated!pH 1 7 14
Acidic Neutral Alkaline

Acid – Base Balance
• Lungs• Respiratory• CO2 (acid)
• Kidneys• Metabolic• HCO3 ( base/alkaline)

Making sense of it…
pH
7.35 – 7.45
Respiratory Metabolic
CO2=Acidosis HCO3=Acidosis
CO2=Alkalosis HCO3=Alkalosis

Interpretation: 4 steps
• Normal Values– pH 7.35 – 7.45– pCO2 35 – 45 mmHg– HCO3 22 - 26 mEq/L
• Evaluate each component as Acid or Base
![Page 9: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

• Evaluate pH and determine acidosis or alkalosis

Step 4…
• Determine which regulatory system is responsible for the imbalance by checking to see which component matches the pH.– If pH and pCO2 match = respiratory
– If pH and HCO3 match = metabolic

Compensation
• When an acid – base imbalance exists, over time the body attempts to compensate.
![Page 16: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Understanding Compensation
• Uncompensated – the alternate system has not attempted to adjust (remains within normal range), and the pH remains abnormal
• Example
– pH 7.30 A – pCO2 60 A– HCO3 25 NUncompensated Respiratory Acidosis
![Page 17: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Understanding Compensation
• Partial Compensation – the alternate system is trying to create a balanced environment and bring the pH back within normal limits, but hasn’t yet succeeded.
• Example– pH 7.34 A – pCO2 59 A– HCO3 28 B
Partially Compensated Respiratory Acidosis
![Page 18: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Understanding Compensation
• Fully Compensated – the alternate system has adjusted enough to restore balance and normalize the pH
• Example
– pH 7.36 N (but slightly A)– pCO2 58 A– HCO3 31 B
Compensated Respiratory Acidosis
![Page 19: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

A Final Step…
• Determine level of oxygenation
(arterial samples only)• Normal = 80 – 100 mmHg• Mild hypoxemia = 60 – 80 mmHg• Moderate hypoxemia = 40 – 60 mmHg• Severe hypoxemia = less than 40 mmHg
![Page 21: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Respiratory Acidosis
• Excessive CO2 retention• Causes
– Airway obstruction– Depression of respiratory drive
• Sedatives, analgesics• Head trauma
– Respiratory muscle weakness resulting from muscle disease or chest wall abnormalities
– Decreased lung surface area participating in gas exchange
![Page 22: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Respiratory Acidosis
• Clues– Confusion, restlessness– Headache, dizziness– Lethargy– Dyspnea– Tachycardia– Dysrhythmias– Coma leading to death
![Page 23: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Respiratory Acidosis
• Solutions– Improve ventilation
• Ensure adequate airway; positioning, suctioning
• Encourage deep breathing and coughing• Frequent repositioning• Chest physio/ postural drainage• Bronchodilators• Decrease sedation/analgesia• Oxygen therapy
![Page 24: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Respiratory Alkalosis
• Excessive CO2 loss due to hyperventilation• Causes
– CNS injury: brainstem lesions, salicylate overdose, Reye’s Syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy
– Aggressive mechanical ventilation– Anxiety, fear or pain– Hypoxia – Fever– Congestive heart failure
![Page 25: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Respiratory Alkalosis
• Clues– Light headedness– Confusion– Decreased concentration– Tingling fingers and toes– Syncope– Tetany

26
Respiratory Alkalosis
• Solutions– Decrease respiratory rate and depth
• Sedation/analgesia as appropriate• Rebreather mask• Paper bag• Emotional support/encourage patient to slow
breathing• Calm, soothing environment
![Page 27: Blood Gas Interpretation Review for Pandemic](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681591b550346895dc643df/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
