An introduction to blood gas analysis

Dave Lynes. Nurs Times. 2003 Mar.

Abstract

Blood gas analysis is a procedure that is associated with high dependency, intensive care and respiratory units, but equipment used to carry out blood gas analysis is now commonplace on hospital wards and in some community services. It is, therefore, important for nurses in primary and secondary care to understand the significance of blood gas analysis.
