Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 8e AB - Blood gases provide important clinical information for patients with respiratory disorders, compromised circulation, or abnormal metabolism. In recent years, a number of surrogates for blood gas analysis have entered the daily practice of emergency medicine. Leveraging the benefits of blood gases requires an understanding of the underlying physiology, appropriate use of arterial and venous blood gases, and knowledge of the advantages and limitations of noninvasive monitoring methods.
