Blood gas analysis on penile samples.
Penile blood gas can aid in the determination of the subtype of priapism to further guide treatment. A pH 7.25, PO2 30, and PCO2 60 indicate low-flow (ischemic) priapism, which needs to be treated immediately by administration of phenylephrine and draining of blood from the penis. High-flow priapism (1, 2) is usually self-limiting. The sequential samples were obtained to determine the effective...
متن کاملIs it necessary to transport arterial blood samples on ice for pH and gas analysis?
We evaluated whether arterial blood samples for pH and blood gas analysis need to be transported on ice. We found that although the changes in pH, pCO2 and pO2 were greater in samples kept at room temperature versus those kept on ice, the difference was probably not of clinical significance until the period of time after arterial puncture exceeded 20 minutes. We recommend that arterial blood sa...

متن کاملContamination of coagulation tests with heparin from blood gas samples.
We investigated the possibility that samples of blood could be contaminated by heparinized blood gas syringes, giving spurious results in coagulation tests. We collected coagulation test samples before (n=5) and after (n=13) blood gas sampling from a venous cannula in a volunteer. The results of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) tests were compared between control samples and samples...
متن کاملWard-based blood gas analysis.
Blood gas analysis is a time-consuming procedure, taking up to 30 minutes from obtaining a blood sample from the patient to receiving the results. The process can involve as many as three health care professionals: the doctor, nurse and a member of the pathology department. The result is that it is difficult to provide continual monitoring of blood gas levels on patients with acute respiratory ...
