Latest reviews of ABG Guide app for iPhone and iPad
Not only does it tell you the normal values but it tells you underlying causes for abnormal values.
This app looks very nice, but unfortunately provides absolutely no useful knowledge. Anybody inclined to download an app about ABGs already know what acidosis is and what causes it. Give us some insight into Metabolic vs Respiratory, Acute vs Chronic, Compensated vs Uncompensated, or concomitant disorders. That would make this beautiful app worth downloading, otherwise its just eye candy.
A extremely simple app with VERY limited information. Maybe it would be helpful for a first year student, but certainly not a medical professional. I was also annoyed that I had to give them a full name and email address before the app would open.
