Compensation | Blood Gas Interpretation | Arterial Blood Gases (Part 4)

[@Kisses200000]

Definitely recommending this video to other nursing students! I always had trouble recognizing what was compensating what, but only one simple step that you mentioned finally made it all clear to me. I went back to the exercises that I found hard to do, and got all of them right! Thank you so much, all of your videos are so clear, helpful and easy to understand, and this one in particular was one that I absolutely needed. Keep up the good work!

Thank you SO MUCH ! I am an ICU nurse and this literally help me a lot for my university course ! Really Thank you as you are so GREAT with explanation then many other lectures!

[@BrettKolman]

I never really understood this stuff but you've managed to make it seem pretty simple. Just a great video!

[@dr.arindammandal2511]

Such great content. Excellent explanation of compensation interpretation. Thank you very much.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you so much Dr Mandal! Happy to hear you liked it!

[@ayaalsabbah3483]

Thank you so you much, you truly explained the topic very well , I'll definitely recommend this video to other students

[@gunjanwadhwa2070]

Must watch, have taught in an easiest way possible

[@ICUAdvantage]

Awesome. Really glad to hear this

[@sonja4164]

I just had a quiz on this last week, and I didn't do as well as I had hoped. I just wasn't very solid with compensation. After watching this video, I think I've got now. Thanks SO much!

[@ICUAdvantage]

You're very welcome! I'm so happy to hear that this video help you to understand the compensation better! Thanks for leaving a comment to let me know. 🙂

[@Jodiepacino]

So helpful, you helped me revise for an exam! Thank you!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Yay! Happy to have helped Jodie! Hope the exam goes well!

[@dr.mukulkanojia]

I’m loving this channel more & more everyday (from India 🇮🇳)

[@ICUAdvantage]

Very cool! Hope I can keep it up :)

[@Lorena-cc9rv]

I’m super happy that I watched this video. I’m getting ready for my CCRN exam and I was having trouble understanding ABG, but after this I’m surprised that I’m actually able to recognize ABG super fast!! And actually knowing the why of the changes. 👍🏻👌🏻

[@ICUAdvantage]

This is great to hear! Really happy that this was what you needed to make it click Lorena. Wishing you the best on your CCRN and you'll have to drop back in after you take it and let me know how it went.

Great suggestion! I've added it to the todo list

Thank you very much!

[@ICUAdvantage]

You're welcome!

[@dominikbozoky2509]

I really thought that the last ABG was a partial compensated metabolic alkalosis. Maybe because of loss of acids (vomitting,..) and the body lowerd the respiratory rate in order to hold back the PaCO2. I haven`t thought about respiratory alkalosis because it would also kind of mean that you are hyperventillating the patient, decreasing PaCO2 and increasing PaO2. But the PaO2 and saturation was pretty low... so that looks really weird for me.

[@ICUAdvantage]

I literally just made up numbers with to goal being to emphasize looking at the values as high or low and then using that to recognize the compensation, or lack there of, going on. Try not to read into the values. :) It was truly just meant for basic analysis!

[@trishnguyen-j2p]

OMG you just saved me out from hell, thank you so much

You are welcome!

[@HardCoreOrDead]

Very helpful video..guys dont just try to memorize the criteria for compensation type..try to really understand what's actually happening to these values and why..i promise you won't need to memorize criteria..it will just make sense

[@ICUAdvantage]

Absolutely! Great advice! This is what has always worked for me and is the approach I take in my lessons. I try to simply explain the WHAT of what is happening, so that people can have the foundation to understand the WHY and the HOW! 😊

[@logicalcadence]

I have to disagree with you and a lot o people on "not fully compensated" ABG/CBG and this is why: with one sample you can not determine future outcomes. If you determine that some has an acidosis of an alkalosis based on the pH, and the pH isn't on the normal values, then you have a uncompensated patiente. With multiple ABG/CBG you can may argue and determine a improving/degrading trend, but you still are predicting the future based on past exames (for sure you have many signals that can help you determine an outcome of a specifiec intervention) but on my eyes is always a guess. Is for a reason that the patiente can be uncompensated. let me know of makes any sense, maybe I'm missing something....

[@dr.junaid189]

Ph 7.2 PaCO2 58 Hco3 17 What type of abd?

[@ICUAdvantage]

Looks to be a mixed component acidosis. Both respiratory and metabolic components.

[@christiannunes6537]

@@ICUAdvantage If the bicarb was 28 in this example, would this then be considered a partially compensated respiratory acidosis?
