Blood gas analysis is a really important diagnostic tool not just in our medical patients, but in our emergency and critical care patients too!

It provides us with vital information on oxygenation, ventilation, perfusion, as well as acid-base balance.

But it's also hard to get our heads around...

...And the reality is, there's no reason why nurses can't interpret these results, and understand what they mean for our patients!

The other sections are styled to help you create beautiful, high-converting pages. If you already know exactly what you want, use this section to add text, images, video, audio, etc. and build something completely custom. This is your sandbox — create what you want!

In this two-hour interactive workshop, we'll chat through:

  • What acid-base balance is, and how it works

  • Acidosis and alkalosis, common causes, and how to tell what's what

  • How to interpret blood gas results, focusing on acid-base

  • How to obtain arterial blood gas samples and why we run them

  • How to assess oxygenation and ventilation on arterial samples

You'll also get...

  • The Debunking Blood Gases Workbook

    To help you with interpreting your results

  • A Test-Yourself Quiz

    10 MCQs with full explanations to lock in what you've learned in the live session (and you can use your workbook as a guide to go through them, too!)

  • Your Certificate

    For 2 hours of CPD!
