Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is one of the most basic tests of pulmonary function, performed routinely in hospitals throughout the world. The proper application of the concepts of acid base imbalance will help the health care provider not only to follow the progress of the patient but also to evaluate the effectiveness of care being provided. Accurate assessment of the relationship between abnormal blood gas findings and a patient’s overall clinical condition is a common challenge for critical care nurses. To meet this challenge, nurses must understand the mechanisms underlying acid-base balance and the common causes of acid-base imbalance. Considering this major problem, a study was carried out with a purpose of identifying the effectiveness of interpretive educative session in improving the knowledge on interpretation regarding arterial blood gas values among critical care nurses in a selected hospital at Gwalior.
