Best ABG

Best ABG provides advanced arterial blood gas calculation, including the following:
- Primary disturbance (acidosis/alkalosis; metabolic/respiratory)
- Compensation
- Anion gap (corrected for albumin, phosphate, lactate)
- Delta gap
- Stewart approach, including SID (strong ion difference) and SIG (strong ion gap)
- PaO2 and oxygen saturation (including whether it is type 1 or type 2 respiratory failure)
- Sodium (corrected for glucose)
- Potassium
- Chloride
- Albumin
- Phosphate
- Lactate
- Glucose
- Calcium
- Hb, hematocrit
Users can complete as few or as many fields as they would like, but the more information provided, the more thorough the analysis will be. Advantages: Advanced analysis as described above; different units available to suit your preference (for example mmHg or kPa); includes all the electrolytes usually obtained in ABG reports; free; no ads; no internet access required; no sign-up required; no dodgy permissions; no in-app purchases needed; small download size. Best ABG is intended as an educational tool and should not be used as a substitute for clinical judgement. The lists of causes are very extensive but are not exhaustive. While we try our best at Best ABG to keep up to date with the latest studies and provide the most accurate information possible, Best ABG can't be held responsible for any misinformation.

Recent changes:
Advanced blood gas analysis is taken to the next step - now you can also identify possible causes of abnormalities detected. Extensive lists of possible causes of electrolyte disturbances are given with attached mind maps to organise the large amounts of information and make it easier to study.
