Access Matthew Beal short biography (international speaker) >>

Blood gas analysis is a tremendously useful tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of critically ill patients. Practitioners increasingly have access to in-house blood gas machines, but the large amount of information they produce can seem daunting to interpret and challenging to apply to improving patient care. This session is aimed at both general and emergency practitioners who have access to a blood gas machine but think that they may not be using the information it generates to its full potential. The Masterclass will be case-based and fully interactive. Both presenters have extensive experience of using both venous and arterial blood gas analysis in clinical practice and will present and discuss a variety of cases. Delegates will also get the chance to discuss their own challenging cases with the group if desired.
