ABG interpretation Course

Every 5 minutes, in ED, a healthcare assistant will hand over an ABG to you, so that you could review it and more importantly, sign it! That’s a big responsibility! To pick up the findings of arterial blood gases (ABGs) is the first step in interpreting them. Without this understanding, treating clinician cannot be expected to realize the implications of the results.

We feel that we can help in creating a useful learning method for the clinician as it is the first step to success in clinical competence.

Many disorders can cause acid-base imbalances, i.e. Respiratory disorders and poisoning.  Acid-base imbalances can be life-threatening, so managing them is crucial. In order to manage the underlying cause of the acid-base imbalance, the cause must be identified and managed promptly. Prior to determining the cause, the specific acid-base imbalance must be confirmed. Determining the type of imbalance can be challenging, therefore, this course will go through the characteristics of each acid-base imbalance and then help the clinician determine where the problem lies and how to manage it.

We tend to make this a fun experience by incorporating OSCE style learning as this can be a dry subject!

We will help you gain that confidence which is required to sustain a job in the NHS.
