ABG Interpretation

[hello2daisy]

Thank you, really clear explanation. This made it all much more simple to understand.

[mawreemaudz]

Last semester of RN were studying abg's & respiratory this helped!!!

[UCBgirl2014]

Great video! Extremely helpful in beginning to understand ABG's. My nursing program didn't come close to explaining this as well.

Thank you so much!

[alaazakaria1]

THANK youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[thetrifakta]

Not sure if I said this yet but, this video was great! Thank You!

A good start to "naming an ABG"

Thanks again!

[Niccheri4]

This was a great explanation of ABGs!

[angcsulb]

This is a great first start for beginners to understand the concepts. Obviously @ Annie more in depth teaching should be required, but for some who don't get the basics, the graphical representations definitely help and would definitely augment any lecture on ABG interpretation. Well done. And quite frankly, most people want short and sweet for concepts.

[kirkferentzrocks]

im passing med school thanks to you,...

[TheKhair007]

the most confusing topic in a medical . . . . very easy to understand but very hard to retain. . . .

[BrianneRN]

[bhaar87]

[09sadhart]

thank you for making this vid!!! this helped me a lot

[12sweetmom]

Thanks it was very helpful now I understand! :)

[maekhanics]

wow!!! its this simple.. i got bored when my clinical instructor taught us about this topic and evrytime i encounter question like this in our exam i ended up guessing.. now i know how to choose the right answer.. thank you.

[anniegoldie]

It's nice that you are trying to educate people about an important medical topic, but your approach to ABG interpretation is overly simplistic, misleading, and factually wrong. Accurate ABG interpretation just cannot be summarized in 5 min.

[un2gsus]

@anniegoldie Sorry Annie, with the ignorance out there in nursing, I think this is close enough for beginners. My hope is that this gets the nurse to question what she sees and finds a RRT to explain it better.

[CocoM51]

Excellent video, you made it so easy to understand. Josh you are a ROCKSTAR. Thank you for the help.



[orika001]

how about this? : ph: 7.29 hco3:19 and PaCo2: 50?

[ThReAsHeR007]

@antiviral8 Hey, I feel really bad about replying in such a snarky manner to you, taking my stress and displacing it onto you, so I deleted those 2 ugly comments I made. :-)

[sameil]

Thanks!!!!!

[AngelOne11]

Please give credit were credit is due. Even though Dr. Gasparis said it's ok to copy her method, you just have to tell people that you copied her way and it's not your idea. It's not ok to just use it without giving her the credit. Remember she has COPYWRTITE on everything.

[swtazpnoy]

very well explained.. tnx alot.. it helps me for my exam tom..

[frankgarrettness]

@swtazpnoy you ain't got to wait til tomorrow morning why don't you do it tonight

[uhmbare]

IM in the middle of an ABG class also.. however where does partially compensated come in? The way you explained this seems so much easier than class! They got my head spinning. also how do we figure in the anion GAp?

[mrkevinwright]

Thanks dude

[blooddudemagic]

@SABOREAME68 why so many posts with same response?

[autoforthepeople]

Brilliant and comprehensive- thanks!

[asilu09]

The best explanation

[aiukgtrzxd]

sorry i accidentally clicked on the thumbs down icon.. i agree with you its the best explanation... ever

[BulletproofBodyarmor]

What about partially compensated patients?

How does your chart figure those out?

[paramedicsid]

great job, pushed me over the edge from just about knowing to really knowing the basics. make more videos!

[andysemakula]

l think eric u had better pay attention when tistening to the teacher u missed the point already

[ericblmt4986]

I think you misspoke when using the compensated & uncompensated and your chart I believe was incorrect also. Didn't you say below 7.35 is compensated? Later in the video it is showing it as uncompensated below 7.35

[bleecw03]

@ericblmt4986 I agree with you. He said two different things about the same thing. He's a nurse not an RT so I forgive him

[jfisher1010]

You simplified ABG interpretation like NOBODY has been able to !! AWESOME!

[lvfrtda]

Josh, give us more videos! You are awesome :)

[marzipans99]

Thanks josh, i finally get it have to try it out with some problems. I think that diagram made all the difference.

[snyggkille18]

I still don't get it. I'm a hopeless case...

[PlayfulL0lly]

LOOOL

i am replaying that video for the third time but i think u have to match his explanions to the graph

draw it it will simplify it for u

not mentioning that its been 3 months after u said that hahahah :P

[TheChar1961]

OMG!!! You taught me in 5 minutes what my professor could not get clear to an entire class in 12 weeks! Thank you. VERY GOOD JOB!!

[DingleHopperz]

thanks for this. its great review for us nursing students. the diagrams are a really great visual to help make things easier to picture. thanks for using examples of what a patient would look like too in these cases ( for a practical approach). maybe you can do a video for normal/abnormal levels of wbc, rbc, glucose, creatine, electrolytes, etc. 5/5 stars.

[35nomoon]

thanks, he explained this better than my nursing instructor

[Kassi54321]

[necrofairy]

Thank you soo much, I have a patho test in 2 days.

[cavazosanna]

thanks. easy and too the point. Recommending you to other nursing students.

[scubadoc08]

I don't know why my brain refuses to understand ABG, thank you for making this easier. Excellent learning tool.
