Abstract
To evaluate arterial blood gas test results in patients with acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Cross-sectional descriptive study, evaluating blood gas results on 150 patients diagnosed with AECOPD, inpatient treatment at the Respiratory Department in Thong Nhat Hospital from January 2023 - March 2024. The majority of patients (80%) have decreased PaO2 and 60% of patients have increased PaCO2. The average value of some blood gas indicators: pH 7.37 ± 0.08, PaO2 61.2 ± 10.5, PaCO2 48.3 ± 8.2, HCO3- 27.1 ± 3.4. There were 126 patients with COPD exacerbated hospitalization (84%) with respiratory failure manifested in arterial blood gas Respiratory failure characteristics according to arterial blood test in the study were mainly increased PaCO2 accounting for 30%, in patients with mixed respiratory failure had 26% and reduced respiratory depression PaO2 had 32%. Arterial blood gas is a significant test for diagnosis the respiratory failure and discovered acid- base disorders.
