arterial blood gas analysis, arterial pH, serum sodium, serum potassium, creatinine, hematocrit, white blood cell count, Glasgow Coma Scale score, age and medical condition were entered into the APACHE II score, as shown in Figure 1 (4).
(1,2) Traditionally, acid-base status is assessed with an
arterial blood gas (ABG); however, venous blood samples are frequently taken for other reasons.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between simultaneous
arterial blood gas and arterialised earlobe blood samples and to establish whether pH, partial pressure of oxygen (P[O.sub.2]), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pC[O.sub.2]), base excess (BE) and bicarbonate (HC[O.sub.3]-) values of arterialised earlobe blood samples could accurately predict their
arterial blood gas analogues for patients with acute respiratory failure treated by mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit (ICU).
With reference to this, in our study,
arterial blood gas samples were taken from the rats 30 min after methanol administration to check for the development of metabolic acidosis.
A severe increase was suspected in MetHb concentration because Sp[O.sub.2] remained at 75% although the concentration of inspired oxygen was 100%; a solution of 2500 mg ascorbic acid in 500 ml 5% dextrose was administered to the patient intravenously until the
arterial blood gas results were obtained.

arterial blood gas analysis1.
Differences between 37.5[degrees]C and 41.5[degrees]C
arterial blood gas data were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Changes of respiratory function indexes and
arterial blood gas indexes of patients in the two groups were compared.
