About the Online Course
This fun course will provide an organized approach to arterial blood gas (ABG) interpretation. Repetitive practice with blood gas interpretation followed by case studies will build clinical confidence in identifying acid/base imbalances. In addition, continuous waveform Capnography and the use of venous blood gases will be discussed. 

What Nurses Are Saying About This Course!
Excellent Resource
This course was an excellent resource to help me refresh my memory on how to interpret ABGs. In addition, it was a great course to learn more information on the benefit and use of capnography. All the case studies were imperative to my understanding and helped me apply the learned knowledge to a clinical example to further my knowledge. I would highly recommend everyone to take this course! Simple, sweet, but highly effective!  S.B.

Made easy to understand
