X method for ABGs

Have fun learning about what can be a complicated subject.

This is an easy and fun method for interpreting Arterial Blood Gas (ABGs) values for the medical professional.  Some people also refer to ABGs as pH balance.  We will cover some of the basics of the pH balance and see how the carbonic acid formula relates to it.    

ABGs interpretation is an important part of taking care of patients.  The pH balance, as represented by ABGs, gives us an idea of what kind of processes are going on inside our patients.  Many patient that have a ph imbalance will need specialized treatment. With this knowledge you can correctly treat these types of patients. Respiratory Acidosis, Respiratory Alkalosis, Metabolic Acidosis, Metabolic Alkalosis, and Mixed Acidosis are all covered in detail.

This is a super easy way of learning how to work with ABGs. The X method has been presented to many of my student and within a short period of time (usually less than one hour) they have become well versed on how to read ABGs. You can also learn how to read ABGs quickly. If you can draw an X then you can learn how to interpret ABGs.

Welcome to this course and have fun learning about ABGs.
