Temperature correction of blood-gas and pH measurements

E R Ashwood et al. Clin Chem. 1983 Nov.

Abstract

We critically review formulas for temperature correction of pH, pCO2, and pO2 measurements in whole blood and the clinical usefulness of these formulas. We discuss both the theoretical derivation and experimental verification of temperature-induced changes. We recommend when to use and when not to use these formulas, based upon the clinical interpretation of these assays.
