Below is an educational resource about how to begin to interpret ABG's and what the components seen on them mean in real-terms.
As always - not a clinical guideline, just a learning resource. All lists are not exhaustive. Note that many pathologies can cause a respiratory alkalosis via hyperventilation. If you would like to print it out to use in a department, or as a teaching handout, please either let me know on Twitter, or email me at david@propofology.com - so I can keep a portfolio record. PDF here. *please note you can also use the mnemonic CAT-MUDPILES for the high anion gap causes - see here.

I am a Nurse Practitioner student and struggle with ABGs. This is a very helpful chart but is hard to read. May I have a pdf so I can print it out to use as a reference for myself?
