Second Example - ABG Report of the Patient


Example: (2)

ABG Report of the patient

A patient of constrictive pericarditis, who had breathlessness on slight movement from one month admitted in stuporosed condition in emergency department of DMCH on 15/01/15.

ABG was done on 15/01/15 at 9.39 PM.


ABG Analysis: 

    (i) Gas Analysis


Step:1
   PaO2 – 49.8 mm of Hg – Moderate  hypoxemia
   SPo2 – 70.5 % - Severe hypoxemia

There is slight  left shift of the oxygen dissociation curve, most probably due to decrease in temperature.

Step:2
  PAO2 - 49.8 mm Hg – low

So, either Fio2 low or PaCo2 high.

Step:3
  P(A-a)O2 = (49.8 – 49.8) mm Hg.
                  = 0 mm of Hg – normal

Step:4
  PaCo2 – 122.5 – Hypercapnea – hypoventilation
So, the patient has hypoxemia with Hypercapnea
 i.e. Type 2 Respiratory failure.   
Due to advanced stage of LVF.

Step:5
Here PaCo2 is increased, and P(A-a)O2 is not increased , so the cause is hypoventilation alone  and since the patient had no neuromuscular disease , so it is due to decreased respiratory drive due to critical illness.

Step:6
P/F index or hypoxemia index = 237.3
x-ray finding does not suggest progressive diffuse pulmonary infiltration , feature of
pneumonia . So it can be due to heart failure or arterial hypoxemia.    

Step:7
There is slight mismatch in the relation between SPo2 and PaO2.
Cause of mismatch is left shift of the oxygen dissociation curve most probably due to low temperature.

Step:8
Hemoglobin and HCT value are high indicating polycythaemia mosr probably due to hypercapnea . we calculate arterial oxygen content

                CaO2= 16.4X10(gm/L) X 1.34 X 70.5 / 100 + 0.003 X 49.8
                         = 154.93 + 0.149
                         = 155.08 ml/L

Expected CaO2 in a 70 Kg person is 194.44 ml/L.

******************************************************************************************

(ii) Electrolyte Analysis


               S.Na+  - 130.7 mmol/L  – low
               S.Cl-   - 86.5      mmol/l  – low
               S.iCa – 0.915 mmol/L  – normal
               S.K+   - 5.31      mmol/L    – high
Decrease level of   s.Na+ and Cl-is due to fluid retention.high level of K+ matches with the change  in pH due to acidosis.


Anion Gap :-
            AG = [130.7]-[86.5+43.4]
                  = 130.7-129.9
                  = 0.8 mmol/l
Derived AG is 6.1 mmol/L

This increased level of AG is due to increased in unmeasured anion.

Delta Gap :-
              = 6.1-12
              =  -5.9

Delta gap + HCo3 = -5.9+43.4
                              = 37.5 – metabolic alkalosis.

Gap-Gap Ratio :-
               = -5.9 /(24-43.4)
               = -5.9/-19.4
               = 0.30 <1

BE :-
      BE= 43.4 – 24=19.4
So,metabolic alkalosis.

******************************************************************************************

(iii) Acid Base Analysis

Step:1






Step:2
  Hco3 – 43.4 mmol/L – Metabolic alkalosis

Step:3
  PaCo2- 122.5 – Respiratory acidosis


Step:4







Step:5





Expected cause of Acid-Base change in simple.
So, respiratory acidosis with compensated metabolic alkalosis.

Compensation of Hco3 In chronic condition
                        = 2.62 X 122.5/7.50 kpa=42.79
So, expected value of Hco3  = 24+42.79=66.70

Compensation of Hco3 In acute condition
                       = 0.75X 122.5/7.5 = 12.25
So, expected value of Hco3 = 24+12.25=36.25

So,respiratory acidosis with chronic compensated metabolic alkalosis.

******************************************************************************************

Final diagnosis

Respiratory acidosis with chronic compensated metabolic alkalosis with hypoxemia and dilutional huponatremia

******************************************************************************************

Causes of Respiratory Acidosis


In this case it is ventilatory failure due to decreased respiratory drive or due to respiratory muscle weakness.

  1. Colorectal cancer, cancer of the large intestine, is the fourth most common cancer in North America. Many cases of colorectal cancer are associated with low levels of physical activity and with diets that are low in fruits and vegetables. Individuals with a family history of the disease have a higher risk. I crumble with this disease for 5 years also with a lot of scaring thought in my head because i was just waiting for death every day of my life until My Son came to me in the hospital explaining to me that he has find a herbal healer from Nigeria to cure my Colo-Rectal Cancer,I was so shocked with the ideal also i was excited inside of me.My son asked me to let us give him a try because we have really heard a lot of scammer pretending to cure all sort of diseases with herbal medicine and some of them never get a positive result at the end of it all but we was very confident on this herbal doctor,like i said we give him a try and he sent me a herbal medicine to drink for three weeks, Sincerely I'm telling you today I' alive and healthy no more laying on sick bed,No more Colo-Rectal Cancer.I'm sharing this testimony on here for people who are sick to contact this Wonderful man,His name is Dr Itua.And His contact Whatsapp_+2348149277967____Email... drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com.He can cure those diseases like:Bladder cancerBreast cancerColorectal cancerKidney cancerLeukemiaLung cancerNon-Hodgkin lymphomaProstate cancerSkin cancerUterine cancerParkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease
