Analysing arterial blood gas results using the RoMe technique

This article outlines a simplified approach to ABG analysis using three main values - pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate - and applying the RoMe ('Respiratory opposite, Metabolic equal') technique. It also provides brief descriptions of selected acid-base imbalances and explains how to identify whether these are uncompensated, partially compensated or fully compensated.PMID:38312004 | DOI:10.7748/ns.2024.e12193
