I've been working for MashupMD for the last year covering developments in nephrology and it has been delightful. It feels like a return to blogging for me. Here's my latest:

any others? Emily Fridenmaker probably has something neat?

Does your blood gas routinely come with other tests? Do you use it and rely on it, or do you verify with the BMP or other tests?

What are the main problems you have with blood gases?
Reliable sample: A? V? mixed? tourniquet? etc
Interpretation includes both interpreting the immediate results and the comparison to prior, EMR use, etc.

What's your practice /preferences with VBGs and ABGs? I imagine the answers overlap, so please comment with details!

Next: where do you run your blood gas?

Would you prefer it if blood gas results came with an automated interpretation?
1- like an EKG read, you'll glance at it
2- AI reads the gas and uses the entire chart such as historical blood gas values and other data
3- this is straightforward and doesn't need analysis

Hey acute care folks, I'm giving a talk on the use of blood gases - current state and what the future could improve on. I'd love your take on a few things... please vote and comment! #MedTwitter
First question: Is ABG/VBG interpretation easy?
