Question: A patient is in respiratory distress on a non-rebreather mask with an estimated FiO2 of 0.80. The doctor orders arterial blood gas assessment. Arterial puncture is performed according to hospital policy. You show the sample to the doctor because of its dark color. The doctor orders CO-oximetry analysis to be performed as well. The blood gas reveals: pH 7.437 PaCO2 36.7 PaO2 153 HCO3 24.3 SaO2 99.2 Hb 9.3 g/dL O2Hb-ox 80.1% MetHb-ox 19.1% (critical) COHb-ox 0.0% Use the information above to answer the following questions: Given barometric pressure of 760 mmHg, what is the patient's A-aDO2 (alveolar-arterial oxygen difference)? What does this A-aDO2 indicate? Given the hemoglobin results, what is the effective arterial oxygen content?
