acid plus The ABG Calculator
It takes me to it's web site to sell me other products. I don't like that!.The free ABG App is better. What a waist of $ 3.99 !!!phillcasa

Waist of time. It can not handle mixed acid base problems like an aspirin overdose. It will give an error message "these numbers violate the HH equation." I guess my patients failed math.allopath
WHERE IS BASE EXCESS/DEFICIT
WHY IS BASE EXCESS/DEFICIT NOT A PARAMETER IN YOUR LIST FOR ABG ANALYSIS?FBSaavedra

Getting Better
There have been several more updates since my last review and I think the program has come a long way. Improvents could include showing the Henderson hasselbach results so you know you're working with good numbers to start. I also run into quite a few triple disorders and seeing all the calculated numbers would be useful instead of having to manually calculate it every time. Anyway, this program should still be used with caution, but it can at least point you in the right direction now.Show lessFurnDog
Fast, accurate, and useful
I'm a medical student who is going through the core medicine rotatation. I have used this app several times to analyze ABG's and it does the job quite well. You can recall previous entries with the refresh button. The graph mode that shows you were you are on the blood gas spectrum is also very helpful. A venous blood gas analysis mode (limited as it is) would also be helpful. It would also be helpful if it was possible to more explicity save prior ABG analyses. I have compared the results from Acid Plus with the results from the Mediquations Acid-Base compensation. The two are consistent but at times when the ABG are somewhat off (due to analyzer issues, etc.) or otherwise ambiguous, Mediquations provides alternative interpretations, which Acid Plus does not. However, Acid Plus has been reasonable and presented the most likely interpretation which has been consistent with clinical observations in cases that I have checked. One area of possible inaccuracy could occur in cases where the albumin is very low. From Rennke and Denker (2007), in hypoalbuminemia, the normal anion gap value must be adjusted downward. "The approximate correction factor is a reduction in the anion gap of 1.5 mEq/L for every 1.0-g/dL reduction {from 4.0 to 4.5} in the plasma albumin concentration ...." Thus, low albumin can change the interpretation of anion gap. This application does not consider this.Show lesslukner
great for ICU
As a resident, I can't emphasize enough on how useful the app is. I used it extensively in the critical care setting and it works great!!!!! Very accurate and extremely easy to use. You should definitely get it.Dr JT

Acid Plus continues to be the leading ABG Calculator for the iPhone-iPod touch. I have been a PA-C for 11yrs practicing Nephrology and interpret ABGs daily. This App is spot on, excellent work guys. I strongly recommend this App without reservation for all.Darth Raistlin
