This video was 3 years ago and is still much needed! I'm so happy to have found this channel. Thank you so much, coach! 🙌🏼

Thank you for this video. One of my weaknesses is the ABGs. I can read them but I’m having a hard time connecting the results to the clinical setting to view the whole picture. I appreciate any other videos you may post like this. 👍🏼

Thank you and you should have initially explained why is body hyperventilating to compensate acidosis

[@mikeoldcoach4280]

I love watching your videos, I'm no new grad. Completely agree with everything you're saying, seen this so many times. Not sure I agree that's a room air ABG, trying to remember what the number is when you add the O2 and Co2 on RA. I love this scenario, most therapists don't understand this. Keep up the great videos........

Thanks for this. Love learning more everyday. Now I know what to do and how to think through situations like this.

I've had multiple ph of 6.9's, a bicarb of 2, and an AG of 32 at different points. Myself/multiple dka

[@mcclintonthomas]

Pt was definitely on room air. Had been in ER for some time by the time they called me to do an ABG. Pt was on RA when I arrived and was told by nurses pt was there for 3 hrs and on NO O2.

Great explanation!

Great vid coach.. could you do a video on Winters Formula/ targeting EtCO2?

[@romaissabrt1669]

Thank you so much for your great work ,

[@brindamohabir8432]

Of course bicarbonate should be given. This ph has to be corrected immediately

[@kylereece6761]

When a pH like this cause the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to shift far to the right? And if so his po2 would be somewhat normal because that would be what is needed to saturate the hemoglobin? I'm just trying to think of many different things that can be happening in something like this.
