ABG's...easy as 123!

So, as I was reviewing the respiratory system and ABG analysis this week, I came across a few videos and links that may prove helpful.  I do notice that the values change somewhat from site to site, but they also vary from hospital to hospital.  Use what your instructor gives you in class and what the hospital uses during your clinical rotations:

Wisc- online does a pretty good job of making ABG's easy to understand.
