The interpretation of a gasometry of rapid form is very useful in an emergency department since to establish in an opportune way a diagnosis performs supreme importance. There exists hardware that allows us to equal the sensibility of the complex m ethods of Stewart. To evaluate the gasometry of a traditional way, depending on the favorite school: using only the bicarbonate or the base excess, it has low diagnostic sensibility when we face stages where more than one metabolic associate disorder exists. We propose the following five steps: to evaluate the pH, deficit of base, anion gap, excess of base, and the index chlorine/sodium, which are important to identify rapidly and sensitively a gasometry in critical patients.

Keywords : Gasometry; anion gap; index chlorine/sodium; anion breach; formula.
