Arterial blood gas interpretation: TYSK (Questions and Answers)

The book introduces the key measures of ABG testing, including pH, PaCO2, and HCO3, and explains their normal ranges and clinical significance. Readers will learn how to identify respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and metabolic alkalosis, and how to recognize partial, full, or absent compensation.

Case examples are included to show how pH, PaCO2, and HCO3 interact, with step-by-step explanations of whether the condition is respiratory or metabolic, acidotic or alkalotic, and compensated or uncompensated.

Chapters highlight important concepts such as normal pH balance, bicarbonate levels, carbon dioxide regulation, and how disturbances affect the body.

This book will be useful for nursing students, medical students, and healthcare workers who want to strengthen their knowledge of arterial blood gas interpretation for exams or clinical practice.
