  1. Arterial Blood Gas Analysis By Mohamed hamdy Assistant lecturer of Anesthesia Ain-Shams University Egyptian Resuscitation Council (ERC)Instructor

  2. Why we do Arterial Blood Gas Analysis? • Oxygenation • Represented by PaO2 • Ventilation • Represented by Pa Co2 • Acid Base Status • Represented by pH, HCO3 and base deficit. • Hb, Hct, oxygen saturation • Electrolyte e.g. Na+, K+.

  3. Because H+ react highly with cellular proteins resulting in alteration in their function therefore avoiding acidemia and alkalemia by tightly regulation H+ which is essential for normal cellular function.

  4. Calculation of Alveolar Gas Equation and A-a Gradient: PAO2 = FiO2×(Bp-pH2O)-PaCO2/R. = 21×(760-47)-40/0.8 = 100 mmHg. A-a Gradient is alvealo-arterial O2 gradient. A-a Gradient = PAO2 -PaO2 It is normally = Age/4+4. It’s Value: concise D.D of hypoxemia. e.g.: normal A-a Gradient Decrease FiO2 Hypoventilation Ventilation perfusion mismatch Rt to Lt shunting increase A-a Gradient Diffusion abnormality

  5. Approach To Hypoxemia N N A-a Do2 pCO2 FIO2 • PaO2 Alv. Hypo. 100% O2 Corrects V/Q Mis. Diffusion No Correction Shunt

  6. 1) Arterial/alveolar ratio(a/A) PaO2/PAO2 Normal value for the a/A ratio is 0.8, meaning that 80% of the alveolar oxygen is reaching the arterial system 2) PaO2/ FIO2 ratio Normal ratio is 550 (a person breathing FIO2 of 1.0 at sea level should have a PaO2 of 550 to 600 mmHg) 3) A-a gradient (on 100% oxygen) PAO2 - PaO2 Where PAO2 is calculated by the alveolar air equation previously presented

  7. PO2 and PCO2 in Blood

  8. 4) Arterial-alveolar PCO2 Gradient (a-A PCO2) Arterial PCO2 - Alveolar PCO2 Where Alveolar PCO2 is measured by means of end–tidal PCO2 Normal gradient is an alveolar PCO2 2 mmHg less than arterial, Acute increase reflects increase in physiologic dead space

  9. Getting an ABG sample

  10. Sample source and collection:- • Arterial blood sample is common utilized clinically but venous blood may be useful in determining acid base status. • Blood sample should be in heparin coated syringe. • The sample should be analyzed as soon as possible. • Air bubble should be eliminated. • The syringe should be capped and placed in ice.

  11. Problem associated with obtaining ABG: Arterial puncture may result in acute hyperventilation. To minimize that: we should use local anesthetic with small needle. When would you withdraw ABG sample after beginning or stopping O2 supplementation? In absence of significant lung disease we should wait from 5-7 minutes before withdraw ABG sample while patient with obstructive lung disease we should wait 25 min.

  12. Interpretation of ABG • Normal blood gas values:

  13. What is PH? PH is –ve log of H+ concentration. Henderson-Hasselbalch EquationpH = pK’a + log ([HCO3] / 0.03 x pCO2) or more simply: The Henderson equation: [H+] = 24 x ( pCO2 / [HCO3] )

  14. The Seven Step Approach to Solving Acid-Base Disorders

  15. STEPS for interpretation of ABG STEP 1: Determine if numbers fit: H+ = H+ = (7.8-PH)×100. • The Rt side of the equation should be within 10% of the Lt Side. If not so: • Another ABG • Chemistry panel for HCO3 should be done.

  16. Determine if: Acidemia (PH<7.37) OR Alkalemia(PH >7.44) is present. STEP 2: STEP 3: Identify primary disturbance: PH Increase Decrease Alkalosis Acidosis Look at PCO2 Increased Decrease Increased Decreased Metabolic Alkalosis Respiratory Alkalosis Respiratory acidosis Metabolic acidosis

  17. STEP 4: Look at the direction of the change of HCO3/PCO2: • If it is in the same direction it is either simple or mixed change. • But if it is in the opposite direction so it is mixed change. STEP 5: Calculate rate of change of Hco3 and co2 (Expected compensation)

  18. Determine the Anion Gap • The Anion Gap [(Na+) + (K+)] – [(Cl-) + (HCO3-)] • The normal A.G is 12meq ± 4. Normal A.G (Hyperchloremic Acidosis) • ↑ GIT loss of HCO3 as in: diarrhea, high output fistula • ↑ renal HCO3 loss as in: RTA(I, II) • TPN. • ↑ CL containing acids. • Wide Anion Gap Acidosis (↑ endogenou non-volatile acid) • Keto Acidosis • Uremia • Lactic Acidosis • Salicylism • Toxins : Methanol,Paraldehyde,Ethylene glycol

  19. All anions and cations Na+ + UC = (Cl-) + (HCO3-) + UA Na+–(Cl-) + (HCO3-) = UA – UC

  20. Very low or even –Ve A.G

  21. Calculation of AG in urine: • Urine AG = ( Na+ + K+) – CL- • In a patient with a hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis: • A negative UAG suggests GIT loss of bicarbonate (egdiarrhoea) • A positive UAG suggests impaired renal distal acidification (ie renal tubular acidosis).

  22. STEP 6: • If there is metabolic acidosis calculate the A.G • Anion Gap = Na+ - (Cl- + HCO3-) = 12meq ± 4. • Corrected A.G = observed A.G + 2.5 (normal albumin - measured albumin). • If the anion gap ↑ proceed to step 7.

  23. STEP 7: If the anion gap metabolic acidosis is present we should evaluate for additional metabolic disorder because the elevation of anion gap above normal ∆ AG = (AG-12) should be buffered by HCO3. Adding ∆AG to current HCO3 will yield the corrected Hco3 which should be normal value 24 meq/l unless there is another disorder present. Corrected HCO3 = current HCO3 (measured) +∆A.G (Normal value 24 meq/l) • If corrected HCO3 >24 → metabolic alkalosis is also present • If corrected HCO3 <24 → a non gap metabolic acidosis is also present • If corrected HCO3 = 24 → it is pure gap metabolic acidosis.

  24. Final step: Be sure that the interpretation of blood gas is consistent and correlated with the clinical picture of the patient.
