À propos de ce contenu audio

Show notes: ABGs at 3am: stop chasing formulas. Learn the senior order: pH, CO2, oxygenation, then urgency and escalation.Episode 8 — ABGs at 3am · What Actually Matters

ABGs don’t confuse clinicians — time pressure and fatigue do.

In this episode, we simplify ABGs into what matters at 3am: urgency, pattern recognition, and the one question you must answer first — is this patient about to crash? We walk through a breathless COPD scenario and give a senior sequence for triage: pH first, then CO₂, then oxygenation, then the clinical explanation.

You’ll learn:

  • Why ABGs are about triage, not formulas

  • The senior order: pH → CO₂ → oxygenation → explanation

  • How to recognise ventilatory failure and compensation failing

  • The common errors: interpreting in the wrong order, repeating gases without action

  • When escalation matters before the patient becomes exhausted
