Quality control of measurements of pH, carbon dioxide tension, and total carbon dioxide in plasma.

We have measured total carbon dioxide in plasma with a new carbon dioxide analyzer, and compared the results with total carbon dioxide data derived from measurements of carbon dioxide tension and pH. The results agree sufficiently well to demonstrate that the new instrument provides a simple, efficient procedure for monitoring the precision and accuracy of pH, carbon dioxide tension, or total c...

The Determination of Total Carbon Dioxide in Water

Compared with oxygen the estimation of carbon dioxide in water presents much greater difficulties, and the methods published until now do not approach in sensitivity the Winkler method for dissolved oxygen by which the latter can be measured to 0-02 mg./l. in unpolluted and 0-2 mg./l. in polluted natural waters (Wheatland & Smith, 1955, Beadle, 1958). This is partly due to the high solubility a...

Carbon dioxide elimination and oxygen consumption in mechanically ventilated children.

BACKGROUND Accurate measurement of carbon dioxide elimination (V̇CO2 ) and oxygen consumption (V̇O2 ) at the bedside may help titrate nutritional and respiratory support in mechanically ventilated patients. Continuous V̇CO2 monitoring is now available with many ventilators. However, because normative data are sparsely available in the literature, we aimed to describe the range of V̇CO2 and V̇O2 valu...
