What AVBG does
AVBG was designed by Dr. Amir Fadhel, Anesthesiologist and Intensive Care Specialist, as a physiology-first clinical reasoning tool for bedside use. It integrates arterial and venous blood gas interpretation, acid–base analysis, oxygenation indices, delta analysis, and contextual clinical inputs while preserving clinician judgment — rather than producing a number without explaining its physiological meaning.
Intended professional audience
AVBG is built for physicians, intensivists, anesthesiologists, emergency medicine clinicians, respiratory therapists, and trainees. It assumes the user already has clinical training sufficient to interpret and act on the output responsibly.
Clinical scope
Arterial and venous blood gas interpretation, acid–base disorder classification (including mixed disorders), expected compensation, anion gap and delta ratio analysis, oxygenation indices, ICU respiratory mechanics, O₂ transport, and ventilation-mode-aware clinical context. AVBG does not interpret imaging, does not order tests, and does not replace direct clinical assessment.
Free versus Professional
AVBG Free includes the complete blood-gas calculation and clinical interpretation engine with no registration and no persistent patient record. It asks for clinical variables only; patient name, MRN, location, facility and physician fields are deliberately absent because they do not improve the physiological interpretation.
AVBG Professional is the separate workflow edition for identifiable hospital documentation. It adds patient and facility fields, saved case records on the device, record management, saved-patient comparison, and named print/PDF reporting, with a seven-day trial available. Professional is for continuity, traceability and formal documentation—not for a superior clinical engine.
Publisher
AVBG is published by ENKI Clinical, a body of clinician-led work focused on transparent, safety-bounded clinical systems grounded in core physiology. Other ENKI Clinical projects address areas such as renal replacement therapy, antimicrobial stewardship, infusion management, and ICU nutrition. Across all of this work, the guiding principle is the same: clinical reasoning must remain visible, explainable, and owned by the clinician.
Dr. Amir Fadhel — MBChB, FICMS-AIC
Dr. Fadhel holds an MBChB from the University of Mosul (2002) and the Iraqi Board in Anesthesia & Intensive Care (FICMS-AIC, 2022). His clinical background includes extended frontline experience in emergency and critical care medicine, including work at George Washington University Hospital, Washington, D.C. (2009–2016), followed by advanced anesthesia and ICU practice in Iraq.
