What you'll learn
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the basic elements of blood gases, how they are analyzed, and how that information is used in health care
- Identify how blood gases fit into the overall respiratory system
- Discuss blood gas analyzers and explain how they work
- List and discuss the blood gas values that are considered “normal” and “abnormal”
Course overview
In this course we will review Blood Gas Basics, all the aspects of gas exchange and Acid-Base Balance, including O2 transport, ventilation, control of respiration, and a generalized summary - animals utilize O2 and produce CO2 + heat = occurs in the mitochondria - for cellular respiration to occur, must be a steady supply of O2 and CO2 must be steadily removed. There will be some overlap since the topics are all intertwined.
