ABGs and VBGs

Join Margie via zoom for an interactive learning experience removing the fear from ABGs and VBGs. 

​

The aim of this interactive session is to demystify the ABG/VBG experience.

• What is 'normal' homeostasis in our bodies?

• What are the buffer systems and how do they work to maintain homeostasis?

• The definition of pH

• What is an ABG and what are the clinical indications?

• What are the values of an ABG/VBG?

• What is acidosis and the causes?

• What is alkalosis and the causes?

• How does the body compensate?

• Systematic approach to reading gases

• Why do we perform more VBGs these days than ABGs?

• How do these values relate to the patient and their disease process?

• What is a lactate and how does it relate to patient outcomes

• Practice, practice, practice, practice

​

When the session is complete, you will receive an email with a link the power point and a quiz with 20 practice gases (with the answers available).
