A nomogram was constructed which allows estimation of the P(50) value from the Po(2) and per cent O(2) saturation of a single venous blood sample. There was excellent correlation between 50 estimated P(50) values obtained in 27 severely ill patients when compared with P(50) values determined from constructed OH-DC's (correlation coefficient 0.92). The mean of the differences between the estimated and determined P(50) values was 1.5 mm Hg with a standard deviation of +/-1.1, and the maximum difference was 4 mm Hg.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
