Publisher's Description:

The Acid-Base and Blood Gas Interpreter is designed to facilitate the evaluation of acid-base and blood gas interpretation, as well as electrolyte analysis. The streamlined interface interacts with the physician, requesting information when necessary and advising when biochemical and/or mathematical discrepancies arise. The interpretation of the laboratory values is immediate, resulting in an exceptionally detailed, accurate, and comprehensive report.


Features

Dynamically calculates vital information, e.g., anion gap, alveolar O2, delta HCO3-, etc.

Prompts for additional information when necessary:

* Random glucose for correction of Na+.
* Serum albumin for correction of anion gap.

Calculation of serum osmolality and comparison with measured osmolality (for analysis of the osmolal gap and to safeguard against laboratory error).

Urine sodium and osmolality for the generation of a more detailed diagnosis (e.g., hypovolemic hypoosmolal hyponatremia, renal and extrarenal causes).

Constant verification of entered values to safeguard against error.

Results of blood gases are adjusted for fraction of inspired O2, altitude, and age of patient.
