If you do not know this method of blood gas analysis, you suffer a loss

Abstract

An original method of blood gas analysis was described. This analysis method is composed of the 7 actions based on the paired analysis. The paired factors are, serum sodium and chloride, serum potassium and pH, pH and pCO₂, pCO₂ and HCO₃⁻ and factors for anion gap calculation. How to perform the 7 actions analysis was described in detail. Especially, the fact that the pathophysiology of acid base balance-disorders can partly be estimated by the value of serum (Na–Cl), was emphasized.
