Blood Gas Analysis
About Acid Base Balance
Acid-base balance is crucial for maintaining normal cellular function and is assessed through blood gas analysis.
Normal Values:
- • pH: 7.35-7.45
- • PCO2: 35-45 mmHg
- • HCO3-: 22-26 mEq/L
- • PO2: 80-100 mmHg
pH Interpretation:
- 7.35-7.45: Normal
- <7.35: Acidemia
- >7.45: Alkalemia
Clinical Significance:
- • Respiratory function assessment
- • Metabolic status evaluation
- • Treatment response monitoring
- • Critical care management
Limitations:
- • Requires arterial blood sample
- • Affected by sample handling
- • Time-sensitive analysis
- • Equipment calibration
Professional Resources:
- • Critical care physician
- • Pulmonologist
- • Emergency physician
