== Blood Gases ==
== [[ABG]] Blood Gases ==
Select the '''worst deviation from normal''' Arterial Blood Gases (ABG) as outlined on the APACHE II scoring table. '''Do not use venous gases.'''
== No ABG Available Rule, see [[serum CO2]]===\
 
FiO<sub>2</sub> ≤ 49% - Base your selection of the '''worst''' ABG on the '''worst''' PO2.
 
FiO<sub>2</sub> ≥ 50% - Base your selection of the '''worst''' ABG on the '''worst''' AaDO2.
AaDO<sub>2</sub> Calculation:
(AsDO<sub>2</sub> is the arterial-alveolar O<sub>2</sub> tension difference)
AaDO<sub>2</sub> = (Fi02 X 713) - PO<sub>2</sub> - CO<sub>2</sub>
e.g. (FiO<sub>2</sub> 0.5 X 713) - PO<sub>2</sub> 85-CO<sub>2</sub> 40 = AaDO<sub>2</sub> 231.5
 
*Clarification:  For the FiO2, AaDO2/pO2 use the worst blood gas determination but a single full blood gas must be used for this.  (not each value done independently).--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:25, 12 February 2009 (CST)


===[[PH]] Level===
===[[PH]] Level===
=== No ABG Available Rule ===
If no ABG is available during the first 24 hours in unit use the '''worst''' serum CO<sub>2</sub> value.
=== No ABG and no Serum CO<sub>2</sub> available ===
Assume normal, record serum CO<sub>2</sub> as '''25.0'''
