The understanding of the basic concepts in Arterial blood gas analysis and interpretation is an essential skill required for all the medical students. Many creative methods of teaching are available for the same yet sometimes it remains a challenging task. Usually, the three main parameters like measured pH, pCO2 and HCO3 values are utilized for interpretation of various acid base disturbances. The aim of the current research study was to apply a novel recently published arterial blood gas interpretation method for teaching purposes. Material and methods: In this newly developed method, the net changes in pH is related to both the changes in respiratory and non-respiratory (metabolic) component affecting the pH. A total of 90 arterial blood gas sample data’s were utilized and classified into various groups. The changes in pH due to respiratory and non-respiratory component is calculated and correlated with the net changes in actual pH. Results: The magnitude and the changes in direction either positive denoting the alkaline effect or negative denoting the acidic effect is very well observed in all the 90 cases and the results are tabulated. The relationship between changes in pH due to respiratory component with pCO2 and the changes in pH due to non-respiratory component with bicarbonate and standard bicarbonate values were graphically analysed. Conclusion: The study concludes that it is much easier to observe the changes in magnitude and direction in various acid base disturbances which will help in better understanding of cases presenting with different pH, pCO2 and HCO3 values.
