Calculations and Correction Factors Used in Determination of Blood pH and Blood Gases

[摘要] Measurement of blood pH, p o2 and p co2 also involves calculation of two or more derived quantities and correction of the measured values in cases where the body temperature of the patient differs from the temperature of measurement. References to the pertinent calculations and the temperature corrections are scattered through the literature of several medical specialties, and much new information has been gathered in recent years that directly affects these calculations. This review explains each of the derived quantities and correction factors most used in this field and also provides the best available data for the calculations, in a form that can readily be adapted to electronic data processing.
