ABG Analyzer
In clinical review, locked
The NurseTools ABG analyzer is planned as a learning tool that steps through pH, PaCO2 and HCO3 to name an acid-base pattern. It is in clinical review, locked, and not available yet.
The formula
Step 1: pH. Step 2: PaCO2 (respiratory). Step 3: HCO3 (metabolic). Step 4: compensation.
What the tool will cover
- Planned: a step-by-step walk through a practice blood gas.
- Planned: normal ranges shown with units.
- Planned: sources, version and review date on the tool.
Status
This tool is in clinical review and locked. It is not available in NurseTools yet, and nothing unlocks it early. It is released only after it clears all four gates:
- Source and rights audit. Every formula and reference is traced to its source and licensed for use.
- Clinical editorial review. A reviewer with the right specialty signs off on the content.
- Independent testing. Known-answer tests cover normal values, edge cases and unit mix-ups.
- Regulatory and App Store review. Higher-risk tools wait for the right approval route before release.
