A capillary blood gas sample is a sample obtained normally on which type of patient?

Which of the following are true statements of carboxyhemoglobinemia?I. Treated with supplemental oxygen of 100%II. Oxygenation assessed with co-oximetryIII. Assess with pulse oximetryIV. Affinity of hemoglobin to CO is 200X more than oxygen

According to the Westgard rules all of the following are considered out-of-control situations EXCEPT:

When assessing collateral circulation of the left hand the RCP finds that it is poor. The next site that the ABG should be assessed for puncture is:

Which of the following are true statements of carboxyhemoglobinemia?I. Treated with supplemental oxygen of 100%II. Oxygenation assessed with co-oximetryIII. Assess with pulse oximetryIV. Affinity of hemoglobin to CO is 200X more than oxygen

Interpret the following ABG pH – 7.50 pCO2 – 20 HCO3 – 22

Interpret the following arterial blood gas:pH – 7.31PaCO2 – 62 mmHgPaO2 – 75 mmHgHCO3 – 28 mEq/LBE/BD – (+3)

Within a capillary blood gas sample, which of the parameters cannot be trusted?

A CO2 detector is placed at the end of the ETT after intubation. After providing several breaths, what color should you see in the detector that tells the RCP the ETT is in the trachea?
