2. Hemoglobinometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobinometer

   The light of a battery-driven lamp is travelling on two paths to the eyepiece. One path goes through the blood sample, the other one through an adjustable filter. When the brightness of the two paths is equal, the hemoglobin level can be read on the device. Such devices were made in the 1940s.

3. Arterial blood gas test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_blood_gas_test

   An arterial blood gas (ABG) test, or arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) measures the amounts of arterial gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. An ABG test requires that a small volume of blood be drawn from the radial artery with a syringe and a thin needle , [ 1 ] but sometimes the femoral artery in the groin or another site is used.

4. Hemoglobinemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobinemia

   A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood. If a hemoglobin tests shows that a person's levels are below normal, it means they have a low red blood cell count, which is known as anemia. If the test shows higher levels than normal, it means they have hemoglobinemia. [citation needed] The normal range for hemoglobin is:

5. Hypoxia (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(medicine)

   An arterial blood gas test (ABG) may be done, which usually includes measurements of oxygen content, hemoglobin, oxygen saturation (how much of the hemoglobin is carrying oxygen), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (P a O 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (P a CO 2), blood pH level, and bicarbonate (HCO 3) [92]

6. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_(medicine)

   The affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen may impair or enhance oxygen release at the tissue level. Oxygen is more readily released to the tissues (i.e., hemoglobin has a lower affinity for oxygen) when pH is decreased, body temperature is increased, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2 ) is increased, and 2,3-DPG levels (a byproduct ...

7. Blood gas tension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_gas_tension

   The constant, 1.36, is the amount of oxygen (ml at 1 atmosphere) bound per gram of hemoglobin. The exact value of this constant varies from 1.34 to 1.39, depending on the reference and the way it is derived. S a O 2 refers to the percent of arterial hemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen. The constant 0.0031 represents the amount of oxygen ...
