This article examines acid-base balance and the interpretation of arterial blood gases (ABG). The article begins with a brief revision of related physiology followed by a description of the primary disorders of acid-base balance. The normal ranges and the significance of abnormal ABG results are ...
Arterial blood gas (ABG) interpretation is something that can be difficult to grasp initially (we’ve been there). We’ve created this guide, which aims to provide a structured approach to ABG interpretation whilst also increasing your understanding of each result’s relevance. The real value of...
It aims to provide a logical and systematic approach to the understanding and interpretation of blood gases in the newborn period. The application of these concepts, together with relevant history and examination, will help the clinician assess the medical condition, make therapeutic decisions and ...
An arterial or capillary blood gas is a clinical tool for determining an infant's pulmonary and metabolic status. An infant can easily be overventilated, underventilated, or metabolically unstable, which can affect their long-term outcome. Therefore, nurses need to have a basic understanding of ...

The latter is what is actually measured during blood gas analysis and is known as the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO_2) (Marshall 2004). End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO_2) is the result of expired gases from the alveoli. The site of gas exchange occurs in the alveolar...

[58]—PM2.5 concentrated ambient particle (CAP) exposure led to increased mean arterial pressure when compared with air controls. This outcome establishes the association between exacerbation of hypertension-related CVD and PM2.5. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Park et al. [60] conducted a panel ...
Seafood-generated by-products such as fish heads, skin, bones, scales, fins, and blood contain a high amount of proteins and other bioactive compounds [3,6,11,24]. Generally, proteins in their original forms are tightly attached via different chemical forces, including hydrophobic effects, elect...
