Measurement of Blood Oxygen Tension in Anesthesia

Leakage of Oxygen from Blood and Water Samples Stored in Plastic and Glass Syringes

“…Reports of additional changes in oxygen tension in both blood and water samples stored in plastic syringes are conflicting (Laver and Seifen, 1965;Fletcher and Barber, 1966;Adams et al, 1967), but the work of Hilty and Karendal (1969) leaves no doubt that in some circumstances these additional changes are important. This paper describes work designed to elucidate the mechanism of the changes and to show in what circumstances they are of importance and whether they can be avoided by the use of allglass syringes.…”

Symposium on Hyperbaric Oxygen

“…The mean results are shown in table 10. I t will be seen that the A-a PO, at both these pressures is within the range reported for man at normal atmospheric pressure (reviewed by Laver and Seifen 1965). This, however, is because the range of values in the literature is so wide.…”

“…), and the blood hemoglobin (Hb) b y using the formula 0, content (vol yo) = (1.34 x H b x % sat.) + (0.0031 x Po,) (Laver and Siefen, 1965). I n all experiments and for each reading, the blood gas studies were done first with dogs breathing 100 percent oxygen spontaneously while attached to the respirometer and then were repeated within 30 min after the animals were placed on a volume-cycled respirator filled with 100 percent oxygen Kindly supplied through Dr. Hubata, Armour Pharmaceutical Co., Kankakee, Illinois.…”
