Blood Gas Analysers
• Blood gas analysers determine acid-base balance through the measurement of partial pressure of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH
• Analysers use electrodes as sensing devices, and bicarbonate and other parameters are calculated from the previously mentioned measurements using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
• Oxygen saturation is calculated as well• Analysers typically measure arterial blood gases (ABG)

• pO2 is measured amperometrically– Oxygen diffuses across an
electrode tip through an electrolyte solution to the cathode at a rate that is directly proportional to the amount of oxygen present
– The pO2 electrode is a current electrode
– The signal from the pO2 electrode is measured in pA
pO2 Measurement
![Page 6: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• pCO2 is measured potentiometrically– Carbon dioxide diffuses
across a membrane through bicarbonate buffer, eventually forming hydrogen ions that are measured by an electrode
– The signal from the pCO2 electrode is measured in mV
pCO2 Measurement
![Page 7: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• pH is measured potentiometrically by two electrodes: pH electrode and a reference electrode– Hydrogen ions diffuse into a
glass membrane, developing a potential that is proportional to the difference in the concentration of hydrogen ions between the sample and the buffer within the electrode.
pH Measurement

Electrode Signals
• Electrode signals are amplified and then converted to the accurate pH, pCO2, and pO2 values for the unknown sample
![Page 10: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Acid-Base Relationships
• Acid-base disorders are considered in terms of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which states acid-base relationships:
pH = pK + log([A-]/[HA])
where A- is the proton acceptor (base) and HA is the proton donor (acid)
![Page 11: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bicarbonate Values
• Bicarbonate values are calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
[HCO3-] = 0.031 PCO2 x 10(pH-6.1)
[HCO3-] in mmol/L
PCO2 in mm Hg
![Page 12: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Oxygen Saturation
• Oxygen saturation is the percentage of total hemoglobin that has bound oxygen and is calculated from pO2 and pH measurements

Principle
• Arterial blood is obtained anaerobically by inserting a short-beveled, sharp needle into an artery
• A device, such as a syringe, is attached either directly or via a short piece of tubing plus an adapter (winged infusion set) to the needle
![Page 15: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Policy
• The Therapist will ensure that precautions against accidental exposure to blood is avoided by wearing gloves when performing a puncture and not recapping the needle after use
• The needle will be inserted into a cork, or a rubber stopper provided with blood gas kit, or self-capping syringe
![Page 23: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Specimen Requirements
• Specimen requirements for blood gas analysis include the following.
(1) Arterial blood is collected in a glass or plastic syringe. Capillary specimens can also be used
(2) Lyophilized or liquid heparin is the preferred anticoagulant
![Page 28: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Specimen Requirements
(3) No air bubbles should exist in the sample because they lower the pCO2 value
(4) The specimen must be placed in iced water and transported to the laboratory in 15 minutes at 4°C and tested immediately. Otherwise, pH values decrease, and pCO2 values increase
(5) Blood clots are unacceptable

Collection of blood for blood gas analysis
• Obtaining the blood sample is usually performed by the intensive care nurse
• Usually a sample of arterial blood is used for the blood gas analysis
• Heparinised syringe is used for blood gas analysis
![Page 34: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Technique for drawing a blood sample
• The radial (or brachial) artery is often chosen because of its accessibility
• The wrist is extended by positioning it over a rolled towel
• After the skin has been sterilised, the artery is stabilised with 2 fingers of one hand while the arterial puncture is made with the other hand using a heparinised syringe
![Page 35: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Technique for drawing a blood sample
• After 5 ml of blood has been drawn into the syringe, air is removed and the syringe is capped
• The syringe is placed inside an air tight plastic bag
• The plastic bag containing the syringe is placed in an ice-water slurry and taken immediately to the Chemical Pathology Routine Lab for blood gas analysis
![Page 36: ABL5 Blood Gas Analyser](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547ab8d7b379595e2b8b4a94/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Factors affecting arterial blood gas analysis
Collection stage:
• Venous blood sample
• Wrong syringe (non-heparinised)
• Wrong artery is chosen
• The wrist is not extended and positioned properly
• Non-stabilised artery while the arterial puncture is made

Factors affecting arterial blood gas analysis
Transportation stage:
• Air is not removed from the syringe
• The syringe is not capped
• The syringe is not placed inside an air tight plastic bag
• The plastic bag containing the syringe is placed on ice but not in an ice-water slurry
