Evaluation of a method for converting venous values of acid-base and oxygenation status to arterial values

Abstract: Arterial pH and Pco(2) can be calculated precisely from peripheral venous blood in a broad patient population. The method has potential for use as a screening tool in emergency medical departments and in medical and surgical wards to assess a patient's acid-base and oxygenation status prior to sampling arterial blood or to help in the decision to refer the patient to the ICU. In departments where arterial blood gas values are used to monitor patients (eg, pulmonary medicine), the method might reduce the number… Show more

“…This method has been shown to have good accuracy and precision when calculating arterial pH (bias¡2SD: 0.002¡0.027) or arterial PCO 2 (bias¡2SD: -0.04¡0.52 kPa) [8]. For calculation of PO 2 , precision was dependent on the oxygenation level, such that for peripheral oxygen saturation (Sp,O 2 ) values .96% the method was not considered useful for calculating PO 2 , and for Sp,O 2 f96% the accuracy and precision of calculated PO 2 was 0.21¡1.85 kPa (bias¡2SD) [8].…”

“…The previous evaluation of this method was in patients admitted to the wards of either ICUs or a department of pulmonary medicine, and these patients were studied under experimental conditions [8]. These experimental conditions differ from routine clinical practice in medical departments in several important respects.…”

“…Recently, arterial and venous blood gas samples were compared in patients with hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In some of these studies, correlation was found between levels of pH (r= 0.934, r= 0.828, r= 0.826), Arterial pCO 2 (r= 0.908, r= 0.877, r= 0.838) and HCO 3 (r= 0.927, r= 0.896) (p<0.001) [3,11,12,15]. In another study performed in patients with respiratory acidosis, correlation values were found as p<0.001 between arterial and venous blood gas samples regarding pH (r= 0.864), pCO 2 (r= 0.761), HCO 3 (r= 0.749) and also including PaO 2 (r= 0.702) [22].…”

“…In these studies; significant correlation between arterial and venous pH and bicarbonate (HCO 3 ) values in case of metabolic acidosis and it was stated that venous blood gas samples had showed the correct degree of acidosis [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In patients with terminal respiratory failure and respiratory acidosis, it was stated that venous pH could be used instead of arterial pH and venous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO 2 ) was sufficient to monitor hypercarbia [3,[12][13][14][15]. Patients with respiratory alkalosis were frequently encountered in clinical practice, and repeated blood gas samples are needed during the follow-up of these patients.…”

“…Therefore, before collecting arterial blood, especially in surgical patients, peripheral blood can be collected from the patient allowing blood gases and oxygenisation to be assessed. Venous blood can be collected from a central vein such as the jugular vein, anterior vena cava or pulmonary artery 9,[13][14][15][16][17] . Pang et al 14 9,17 .…”
