Arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling is an essential investigation for assessment of acid-base status, oxygenation and ventilation in critical care practice. Arterial puncture to obtain arterial blood is more invasive procedure than venous and has more potential complications. To find out the correlation between arterial and peripheral venous blood gas values for pH, PCO2 and bicarbonate. Patients admitted in ICU requiring arterial blood gas analysis to determine their acid-base status or ventilatory status was included in the study. One milliliter of venous blood was obtained in a heparin flushed syringe within 5 minutes of getting arterial blood sample. Both labeled samples were processed immediately. Data were analyzed by student’s t-test. A total of 50 paired samples from 36 patients were evaluated. The mean differences between arterial and venous blood gas values for pH, PCO2 and bicarbonate were 0.02 units, -2.37 mmHg and -0.45 mEq/L respectively. Similarly, the correlation coefficients between arterial and venous parameters were 0.964, 0.881 and 0.906 for pH, PCO2 and bicarbonate respectively, which were statistically significant (p<0.001). Venous pH, PCO2 and bicarbonate showed a very high level of correlation with the respective arterial values.

AbstractObjectivesVenous blood gas (VBG) analysis is becoming a popular alternative to arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis due to reduced risk of complications at phlebotomy and ease of draw. In lack of published data, this study aimed to establish reference intervals (RI) for correct interpretation of VBG results.MethodsOne hundred and 51 adult volunteers (101 females, 50 males 18–70 y), were enrolled after completion of a health questionnaire. Venous blood was drawn into safePICO syringes and analysed on ABL827 blood gas analyser (Radiometer Pacific Pty. Ltd.). A non-parametric approach was used to directly establish the VBG RI which was compared to a calculated VBG RI based on a meta-analysis of differences between ABG and VBGResultsAfter exclusions, 134 results were used to derive VBG RI: pH 7.30–7.43, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) 38–58 mmHg, partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) 19–65 mmHg, bicarbonate (HCO3−) 22–30 mmol/L, sodium 135–143 mmol/L, potassium 3.6–4.5 mmol/L, chloride 101–110 mmol/L, ionised calcium 1.14–1.29 mmol/L, lactate 0.4–2.2 mmol/L, base excess (BE) −1.9–4.5 mmol/L, saturated oxygen (sO2) 23–93%, carboxyhaemoglobin 0.4–1.4% and methaemoglobin 0.3–0.9%. The meta-analysis revealed differences between ABG and VBG for pH, HCO3−, pCO2 and pO2 of 0.032, −1.0 mmol/L, −4.2 and 39.9 mmHg, respectively. Using this data along with established ABG RI, calculated VBG RI of pH 7.32–7.42, HCO3− 23 – 27 mmol/L, pCO2 36–49 mmHg (Female), pCO2 39–52 mmHg (Male) and pO2 43–68 mmHg were formulated and compared to the VBG RI of this study.ConclusionsAn adult reference interval has been established to assist interpretation of VBG results.
