Blood Gas Analysis

Emergency Nurse, 2005
A blood gas machine has electrodes to measure pH, pCO2 and pO2 and often measures Hb and some biochemistry as well [King et al. 2000]. Derived values from such a device include O2 saturation, O2 content, bicarbonate, base excess and total CO2. This is the Clarke electrode described in the previous section on gas analysers and is suitable for both ...

Arterial Blood Gas Analysis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1987
Excerpt To the editor: In his article on arterial blood gas analysis (1), Dr. Raffin states that "special preheparinized plastic syringes have been developed, but their efficacy has not yet been es...

Blood gas analysis

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2002
Evaluation of both arterial and central venous blood can be valuable in monitoring the critically ill veterinary patient. The traditional approach, which concentrates on arterial blood analysis only, may miss important aspects of oxygen delivery to tissues, especially in patients with poor perfusion.

Arterial blood gas analysis

Nursing Standard, 2004
With increasing use of arterial blood gas analysis in various ward and other hospital settings to aid medical diagnosis and management, nurses who can interpret results are often able to initiate earlier interventions and understand the reasons for medical interventions. This article enables nurses to interpret such results.

SCALP BLOOD GAS ANALYSIS

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 1999
The use of fetal blood sampling has been advocated widely to improve the specificity of fetal heart rate monitoring, but it remains a clinically unpopular procedure. This article considers its physiologic rationale and evidence base. It includes descriptions of the technique with suggestions for improved clinical interpretation and discusses the ...

Blood gas analysis

2018
Acid-base homeostasis is vital for the maintenance of normal tissue and organ function, as both acidosis and alkalosis can have harmful and potentially life-threatening effects. Arterial blood gas analysis, combined with routine clinical history and examination, can provide useful information for the management of the critically ill cardiac patient ...

Capillary blood gas as a substitute for arterial blood gas: a meta-analysis

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2014
Arterial blood gas sampling forms a vital part of bedside investigation but is invasive and physician dependent. This study aimed to determine whether capillary blood gas sampling could provide an accurate and less invasive substitute for the measurement of blood gases and pH.

UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD GAS ANALYSIS

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 1999
Umbilical cord blood gas and pH values should always be obtained in the high-risk delivery and whenever newborn depression occurs. This practice is important because umbilical cord blood gas analysis may assist with clinical management and excludes the diagnosis of birth asphyxia in approximately 80% of depressed newborns at term.

On-Line Blood and Respiratory Gas Analysis

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1980
Data from a patient receiving ventilatory assistance are processed by computer to calculate pulmonary shunt, dead space/tidal volume ratio, oxygen uptake and delivery, and carbon dioxide elimination and delivery. The computations are based on routines described by Kelman and by Severinghaus, but modified to match limitations of testing imposed by the ...

[Blood gas analysis].

Der Anaesthesist, 1997
Blood gas analysis provides valuable information about both the extracellular acid-base status and gas exchange. A blood gas analyzer measures pH, partial pressure of oxygen(pO(2)), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO(2)), O(2) saturation, and hemoglobin concentration.
