Abstract:
VIA Blood Gas Monitor System (Baxter) withdrawals and reinforces blood automatically and measures pH, PaCO2, PaO2, sodium, potassium, and hematocrit. We evaluated VIA for use during cardiopulmonary bypass in 8 patients and during differential lung ventilation in 6 patients. The bias and precision were calculated on all the measured parameters. A total of 127 blood samples were obtained for comparison. Blood gas data measured by VIA were clinically acceptable except sodium. These findings suggest that VIA is useful for the management of patients in whom frequent arterial gas measurements are necessary.

Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) studies are crucial for assessing the lungs' ability to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, reflecting the patient's ventilation status. They also help understand the kidneys' capacity to reabsorb or...

Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
