INTRODUCTION The aim of this survey study was to assess the current practices and policies in use related to the various steps in the blood gas testing process, across hospital laboratories in Croatia. MATERIALS AND METHODS First questionnaire was sent by email to all medical biochemistry laboratories (N = 104) within general, specialized and clinical hospitals and university hospital centres...

In 1953, the doctor draft interrupted Dr. Severinghaus' anesthesia and physiology training and sent him to the National Institutes of Health as director of anesthesia research at the newly opened Clinical Center. He developed precise laboratory partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO(2)) and pH analysis to investigate lung blood gas exchange during hypothermia. Constants for carbon dioxide solu...

the present study analizes a trigeneration system based on an internal combustion engine and a steam ejector refrigeration system from an energy point of view.

this paper presents an economic evaluation of gas to liquids (gtl) project using “south-pars” gas field of iran based on the latest actual performing gtl projects. iran has the world’s largest reserves of natural gas and can satisfy the projected long-term market demand of gtl products which have lower pollution and higher quality than refinery products. the results of cost-benefit analysis sho...

We report a case of a radial artery pseudoaneurysm complicating a single arterial puncture for blood-gas analysis that was treated with excision of pseudoaneurysm and suture of the defect of wall of radial artery. The puncture for continuous blood pressure monitoring and serial blood gas analysis have been reported in critically ill patients, but, to the best of our knowledge, there are no case...
