Session information
- Title:
- 07e_07_10 Arterial Blood Gases
- Description:
- Measurement of blood gases is vital to assess gas exchange function of the lungs, to titrate oxygen therapy and to assess metabolic state of the patient. A basic understanding of the working principles of the equipment used in measuring blood gases, their limitations and sources of error is essential for interpretation of blood gas results. This session describes the components of a blood gas analyser along with principles of measuring partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide and pH. This session also enables you to understand the practical problems and sources of error in the results obtained.
