An arterial blood gas (ABG) measures three components: pH, pCO2, pO2. All the other numbers on a blood gas are calculated. The bicarbonate (HCO3) value is calculated based on the measured pH and the measured pCO2, using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The base excess (BE) is calculated using a similar equation.BG-A is a normal blood gas in room air. ABG-B (pH 7.20, pCO2 60, pO2 70, bicarb 24, BE -3) shows a patient with acute respiratory failure. The pH is less than 7.40 which means that the patient has an acidosis.
Himmler was searched and two cyanide phials were found on him and removed. It is said that as an Army doctor was about to give Himmler a more thorough examination, he bit on a cyanide capsule embedded in one of his teeth and died as a result.
