ABG parameters

4. When I’m high, your liver might be crying for help—think alcohol or hepatitis.
5. I tell you if a patient is too acidic or too basic—mess with me, and organs will suffer!
8. I’m not a buffer in a debate, but I buffer your blood to keep you stable.
9. Too much of me means you’re not exhaling well—think COPD or respiratory failure!
10. A respiratory distress patient’s ABG shows I’m low—it means their tissues are starving!
14. Check me when acid levels rise unexpectedly—I’ll tell you if it’s a metabolic issue.
16. When I rise, your kidneys are probably struggling—watch out for renal failure!
17. If you don’t check me often, the patient could get sepsis.
18. I’m a percentage, but without me, your organs won’t survive.
19. I’m the salty one in the group, balancing your fluid levels like a pro.
20. Sweet as sugar, but I’m not sugar—I help check for diabetes and energy levels.

1. Low levels of me mean your oxygen-carrying capacity is poor—you might feel weak!
2. If you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, I’ll tell you if I’ve been hijacked.
3. Ventilators love me, and I decide how much oxygen you’re actually breathing in.
6. You breathe me in, but if my levels drop, your brain and heart will panic.
7. I can be positive or negative, but I always tell you if your body needs more base.
11. I help form clots, but too much or too little of me can be dangerous.
12. My name sounds metallic, but I help your muscles and nerves work smoothly.
13. I sound like an electrolyte superhero, and without me, your heart might just stop.
15. Doctors keep an eye on me in kidney patients—too much, and bones will weaken!
