The purpose of this book is to show both why and how blood gases are measured, and hence to provide a thorough insight into the principles and practice of blood-gas analysis. After a summary of the chemical and physical laws governing the behaviour of gases, chapters on cardiopulmonary homeostasis, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport in the blood and acid-base balance show why the analysis of blood gases is important in medicine. A chapter on the clinical approach to blood-gas and acid-base problems then indicates the normal range of values in man, and the ways these values deviate in abnormal conditions.
