Abstract
For those clinical laboratories equipped with a microprocessor-controlled gas analyser, an extremely simple method is described for the determination of the total carbon dioxide content in various biological fluids. Since this method needs only 20 μL of blood plasma or is less dependent on the original total carbon dioxide content, it is especially suited for paediatric purposes. With our procedure the time necessary for one determination equals the time for one capillary blood gas analysis.Keywords
