Bubbles in samples for blood gas determinations. A potential source of error

R G Mueller et al. Am J Clin Pathol. 1976 Feb.

Abstract

The presence of small gas bubbles in devices used to collect blood gas samples is considered. A gas bubble whose relative volume is 0.5 to 1% or more that of the liquid in the collection device is a potential source of significant error. Relationships describing the possible magnitude of this error are derived and substantiated.
