The Art of Blood Gas: Preanalytical Factors, Tools & Techniques

The results of blood gas analyses are used for many patient management decisions, often in a time-sensitive setting. Several pre-analytical factors can affect blood gas and oxygen saturation results. Using a case-based approach, this presentation explores best practices, common pitfalls, and quality improvement strategies to ensure reliable results and optimal patient outcomes.

 

We'll explore best practices in blood gas collection and how BD’s innovative syringe technologies—BD Preset™, BD Preset™ Eclipse™, and BD A-Line™—are designed to help support safer, more efficient, and more accurate sampling.
