Blood gases and Acid/base interpretation is increasingly being used in not only large veterinary hospitals, but general practice on a day to day basis. The opportunity to have these results so quickly is good news for our patients in the emergency and critical care setting especially. As Veterinary Nurses, we are normally taking the samples from these patients and running the gases for the Vets. In this webinar, we will discuss the best ways of obtaining and handling these samples, step by step guide on interpreting the acid/base status and other important parameters to be aware of; so that you feel more confident to alert the clinicians when problems start to occur.
