The document provides guidance on interpreting arterial blood gas (ABG) results through a step-by-step process. It begins by outlining proper techniques for collecting an ABG sample. It then describes the variables provided in an ABG report and how to assess for acid-base disorders by analyzing the pH, PCO2, HCO3, and other values. The document outlines the steps to determine if an acid-base imbalance is respiratory or metabolic in nature and how to evaluate for compensation. It also reviews how to interpret values in specific conditions like respiratory acidosis, alkalosis, and different types of metabolic acidosis.
