Acid/base and blood gases for the uninitiated can seem a little complex at first. Access to equipment and interpretation of results can be a very helpful and rapid point-of-care diagnostic tool. Further, its use in the monitoring of critical care and anaesthetised patients can also be invaluable. In this talk I will discuss the approach to acid/base analysis and tips and tricks to assist in rapid analysis of blood gas results in the veterinary small animal setting, including some of the pitfalls to watch out for.
