  2. 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.

  3. Blood gas test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_gas_test

    A blood gas test or blood gas analysis tests blood to measure blood gas tension values, it also measures blood pH, and the level and base excess of bicarbonate.The source of the blood is reflected in the name of each test; arterial blood gases come from arteries, venous blood gases come from veins and capillary blood gases come from capillaries. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_pathology

    Clinical chemistry: an automated blood chemistry analyser. Clinical pathology is a medical specialty that is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the laboratory analysis of bodily fluids , such as blood , urine , and tissue homogenates or extracts using the tools of chemistry , microbiology , hematology , molecular pathology , and ...

  5. Physiology of decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiology_of_decompression

    The absorption of gases in liquids depends on the solubility of the specific gas in the specific liquid, the concentration of gas (customarily expressed as partial pressure) and temperature. [2] In the study of decompression theory, the behaviour of gases dissolved in the body tissues is investigated and modeled for variations of pressure over ...

  6. Partial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_pressure

    The atmospheric pressure is roughly equal to the sum of partial pressures of constituent gases – oxygen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc.. In a mixture of gases, each constituent gas has a partial pressure which is the notional pressure of that constituent gas as if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature. [1]

    This is a list of gases at standard conditions, which means substances that boil or sublime at or below 25 °C (77 °F) and 1 atm pressure and are reasonably stable. List [ edit ]

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has requested that "special detection systems" be deployed in New York and New Jersey after recent drone sightings fueled anxiety among residents in the region

  9. Splint (laboratory equipment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splint_(laboratory_equipment)

    If the gas is flammable, the mixture ignites. [1] This test is most commonly used to identify hydrogen, which results with a distinctive 'squeaky pop' sound. [2] Hydrogen is easily ignited and used to definitively conclude what the gas actually is. [3] Further analytical chemistry techniques can clarify the identity of the gas in question.
