kena tegur dgn member kenapa lama x post. sekali post yg pening kepala pulak kan. sorry lah hhaha .

so sape2 nk try give full diagnosis utk ABG kat bawah ni silakan ye jgn segan2
ok so jom kita interprete ABG ni. so tulis balik mcm ni:

pH 7.228 -acidosis

pO2 193 - wah so high, wean down o2 stat

pCO2 29 (normal 40) -turun 11

HCO3 13 (Normal 24) -turun 11
so this is metabolic acidosis

next step. kira expected pCO2 using winters formula, utk tgk ada respi compensation ke x

= (1.5 x HCO3) + 8
= (1.5 x 13) + 8
= 27.5

now, measured pCO2 dekat ABG kita is 29 rite. dekat2 dah tu dgn expected pCO2.
final verdict: partially compensated metabolic acidosis with appropriate respiratory compensation.
btw

If pH is NORMAL, PaCO2 & HCO3 are both ABNORMAL =
Compensated

If pH is ABNORMAL, PaCO2 and HCO3 are both ABNORMAL =Partially Compensated

If pH is ABNORMAL, PaCO2 or HCO3 is ABNORMAL =
Uncompensated

Hye gais

masa round, u saw an ABG & u were like "ni respiratory acidosis ni"

then MO come "eh this is Chronic respiratory acidosis"

Then your specialist come "walao, ni acute on chronic respiratory acidosis"

then consultant come "eh got concurrent metabolic acidosis sumore"
then you were like "eh where got lah ??"

i know some of you already know how to interprete ABG so well ady. BUt ill just put it out there for those yg still find ABG a tad difficult to read. ill try to simplify it for you

WARNING: Long post
step by step ABG interpretation macam ni:
step 1: is it acidosis or alkalosis (tgk pH)
step 2: is it respiratory or metabolic (tgk CO2, HCO3)

okay upto this point semua org tahu kan. even the normal value all? so aku x mention

hye gias..

a bit about NSAIDs

All traditional NSAIDs are both COX1 and COX2 inhibitor
(non-selective COX inhibitor)

semua ada sifat2 analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory
COX1 ni dia mcm house-keeper. dia ada kat gastric lining and it helps protect us from gastric ulcer.

The problem is, NSAIDs inhibit this good isoenzymes (COX1). so patient ada risk develop ulcer

So all NSAIDs are gastric irritant sebb dia inhibit COX1 ni.
Also, the problem with traditional NSAIDs ni, dia kacau platelet aggregation through COX1 inhibition.

Like i said just now, COX 1 ni mcm a good housekeeper.

So contoh traditional NSAIDS yg inhibit both COX1 n COX2 ni mcm Diclofenac, Ibuprofen, Aspirin.. etc

Hye gais..

things they might not teach you about Dengue Fever
lets talk about warning signs... that you think is not warning signs
#1 Lethargy.. how lethargic is lethargic?
You see, most dengue fever comes with high grade fever (temp>38) and of course, the patient is bound to "feel" lethargic.

nak setting bipap based on abg ni senang je
1) abg show PaO2 < 60 (pt hypoxemic) means ada oxygenation problem
2) abg show low pH with high PaCO2 >45 means ada ventilatory problem
bipap ada dua setting
Ipap
Epap (sama macam PEEP) pressure nk maintain alveolar keep on opening during expiration.
Pressure support = Ipap - Epap
kalau ada oxygenation problem, increasekan Epap,n maintain kan pressure support.
contoh: kalau inital setting Epap 5
Ipap 10 (PS 5) so kalau kena increasekan Epap to 10, naikkan Ipap jadi 15
