ABG's

ABG's and their values

TermDefinition
PAO2 Alveolar oxygen tension
PcO2 Pulmonary capillary oxygen tension
PaO2 Arterial oxygen tension 75-100 mg
PvO2 mixed venous oxygen tension
PACO2 alveolar carbon dioxide tension
PcCO2 pulmonary capillary carbon dioxide tension
SaO2 Arterial oxygen saturation
SvO2 mixed venous oxygen saturation
pH Range 7.35-7.45; normal 7.40 <7.35 acidosis >7.45 alkalosis
HCO3 plasma bicarbonate concentration range 22-26 mEq/L(some books 24-28) ; normal 24 <22 acidosis >26 alkalosis
PaCO2 range 35-45 mmHg; normal 40 >45 acidosis <35alkalosis
mEq/L # of grams of solute contained in 1mL of a normal solution
CaO2 oxygen content of arterial blood = (Hbgx1.34xSaO2)+(PaO2x0.003)
CcO2 oxygen content of capillary blood
CvO2 oxygen content of mixed venous blood
V/Q ventilation/ perfusion ratio
QS/QT shunt fraction =(PAO2-CaO2)/PAO2-CvO2)
BE: +2 to -2 mEq/L
pH< 7.35 and PaCO2>45 indicates respiratory acidosis
pH>7.45 and PaCO2<35 indicates respiratory alkalosis
pH<7.35 and HCO3 <22 indicates metabolic acidosis
pH>7.45 and HCO3 >26 indicates metabolic alkalosis

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
