Changes in Carbon Monoxide Content of Whole Blood during Gas Equilibration in the Radiometer Dissociation Curve Analyzer (DCA-1)
Abstract
The COHb content of whole blood was determined by two different methods during gas equilibration in the Radiometer Dissociation Curve Analyzer (DCA-1). There was a slight but significant decrease in the values during the equilibration procedures. For most purposes a single measurement of the blood COHb content before or after the procedure is sufficient. However, when very accurate data are needed, repeated determinations are recommended.
