?:definition
  • Laboratory blood gas analyzers used to directly measure pH and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) and oxygen (PO2), usually in arterial whole blood specimens. Measurements are made using three different sets of electrodes. Some laboratory blood gas/pH analyzers calculate other parameters, such as oxygen total content and bicarbonate HCO3, and also perform electrolyte and/or hematologic determinations (e.g., hematocrit). These analyzers are used to determine a patient\'s acid/base balance and oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange for diagnosis and regulation of therapy.
