We previously developed a quadrupole mass spectrometer system for measuring gas phase concentrations of multiple inert gases at trace levels. A new inlet with two silicone rubber membrane catheters now allows quantitative analysis of the inert gas concentrations in both blood and gas phase samples. We have determined the sensitivity, linearity, and reproducibility of this system by measuring blood-to-gas phase calibration curves for the following inert gases: sulfur hexafluoride, krypton, Freon 12, enflurane, diethyl ether, and acetone. We have used our mass spectrometer system to obtain multiple inert gas elimination data from three anesthetized, spontaneously breathing dogs. We conclude that our dual-membrane mass spectrometer system provides useful measurements of trace multiple inert gas concentrations in both blood and gas phase samples. Furthermore, the inert gases in blood can be measured directly without having to extract them into a gas phase, and the multiple inert gas elimination data acquired with our system can be used to provide estimates of ventilation-perfusion ratio distributions. Our mass spectrometer technique provides an alternative to the gas chromatographic approach for these measurements.
