Arterial blood
gas measurements are a relatively insensitive
measure of impending respiratory
decompensation in MG since the
initial changes are usually consistent
with hyperventilation and may falsely
be attributed to anxiety
.


Is this what you are talking about, Annie?? Am I misreading or misunderstanding?? Because I "think" that the author AGREES with you -- and is saying that a person who does NOT understand MG may "falsely" conclude that ABG measurements are a result of hyperventilation, when IN FACT, they are a result of an impending crisis.
