Respiratory Therapy - ABG Interpretation: Acute Ventilatory Failure vs Chronic Ventilatory Failure?

In this video we breakdown arterial blood gases in specifically in regards to respiratory acidosis. How to tell the difference between compensated, partially compensated and fully compensated. Then we define acute ventilatory failure and chronic ventilatory failure.

You are such a diamond! It has been my issue regarding AVF superimposed CVF but I don't know what to say when I know there is something wrong but they say it's CVF.

thanks so much for the video! I just have one question , how do you determine if AVF is superimposed on CVF??? is it only based on the high HCO3??

[@ramadanberbash2482]

very nice, my question is how to differentiate between acute on chronic respiratory acidosis and partially compensated respiratory acidosis (without knowing older ABG) Thanks

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Great question! You're correct. Without a known baseline you truly don't know if the bicarb is at baseline or attempting to compensate. The H&P can provide clues along with the presence of chronic physical findings (digital clubbing, barrel chest, etc.) can provide distinguishing insight, but other than that a prior abg is needed to know for certain. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Super ❤️

[@LauraMartinez-eq9rq]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're very welcome, Laura!

[@matty00926]

Do you have a video about hyperventilation due to an arterial stick, effecting the ABG result?

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Hey Matthew! Not specifically related to pre-stick hyperventilation, but I did post a respiratory alkalosis video shortly after this one. Discussed hyperventilation associated with pain and anxiety, but didn't mention this specific scenario. Thanks for mentioning that!!

Hey coach thank you so much for this. I feel so much more confident with it now. But do you have any tips for people who struggle with exam questions? Im really worried about the TMCs i will be taking this summer

[@KRAPYBARA84]

My RT school also throws in BE ( -2 +2) why doesnt anyone add that to the abgs?

[@azz7943]

Thank you legend 🙏🏻

Slow down, AZZ. LOL I do appreciate the kind comment though! Thanks for watching and commenting, as usual.

[@Dollfacenowaist]

hello! im a student In undergrad cardiopulmonary science and im confused on what superimposed means can you make a longer video on that. How do you know someone was in CVF and now they're in AVF?
