A solid-state arteriovenous oxygen difference analyzer for flowing whole blood

A P Shepherd, C G Burgar

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |April 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new spectrophotometric device accurately measures arteriovenous oxygen difference (a-v O2) in whole blood. This reliable instrument uses solid-state components and shows linear results independent of hemoglobin levels.
