Abstract :
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with greatest morbidity and mortality, worldwide. Blood gas analysis is required to know acid-base status of the body in patients of acute exacerbation of COPD. Routinely arterial blood obtained by arterial puncture is used for blood gas analysis. It has been shown that venous blood can be used in place of arterial blood for blood gas analysis. The aim of present study was to see the changes in acid base status of the body in AECOPD patients by using venous blood for blood gas analysis. Methods: This study included previously diagnosed 100 patients of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 100 healthy
subjects. VBG sample was taken from each patient analyzed for pH, PCO2, HCO3-, PO2 and SO2. Results: The mean ± SD values for pH, PCO2 and HCO3- in AECOPD patients were 7.36 ± 0.1, 53.31±18.62 mmHg and 29.21±8.78 mmol/L, respectively. In healthy controls, the mean ± SD values for pH, PCO2 and HCO3- were 7.39±0.04, 46.02±6.7 mmHg and 28.3±4.1 mmol/L. Conclusion: Venous values of pH were slightly lower while venous values of PCO2 and HCO3- were slightly higher in AECOPD patients as compared to the healthy subjects showed that AECOPD patients were in respiratory acidosis state
