BACKGROUND Techniques for sampling arterialised capillary blood from the finger pulp and the earlobe were first described over two decades ago but, although close agreement between arterial values and earlobe samples has been demonstrated in normal subjects, this technique is not in common usage. METHODS Forty patients with chronic lung disease and a wide range of arterial blood gas values we...

Arterial blood gases (ABG) is a common and gold standard procedure often used to assess acid-base status electrolytes. sampling technically difficult painful causes rare but serious complications for the patient (such as vascular injury or embolism). The gas analysis of samples drawn from arteriovenous fistula (AVF) requires fewer punctures relatively safer less patient. study included (22) pat...

Arterial blood gases (ABGs) are routinely done in critical clinical settings to ascertain acid-base status. Due difficulties and the potential side effects following arterial sampling, much research has been find possibility of using venous samples as an alternative. However, this comparison needs be evaluated various contexts. Hence, systematic review aims explore differences, appropriateness,...

the acid-base status and arterial blood gas change with temperature variation. to determine the changes in arterial ph and pc02, arterial blood samples of 50 neonates with different clinical conditions were examined at temperatures of 35 to 42°c with an increment of 0.5° c, which resulted in two nonlinear equations with perfect fit on data. the temperature correction factors of these equations,...

BACKGROUND Quantification of kinetic parameters of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents normally requires collecting arterial blood samples which is inconvenient for patients and difficult to implement in routine clinical practice. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a population-based input function (POP-IF) reliant on only a few individual discrete samples allows acc...

Aims: Today, due to the failure of non-surgical methods in the treatment of obesity, surgical procedures such as sleeve gastrocetomy are used. Similar to other invasive interventions, sleeve gastrectomy causes an imbalance in hemodynamic parameters. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of early mobilization on hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Mater...
