The PaO2 measurement shows the oxygen pressure in the blood. If pH results fall outside of normal ranges, the doctor will perform further tests to determine the reason. The epoc system is a handheld, wireless solution to enable comprehensive blood analysis testing at the patient’s side on a single room temperature test card, with results in less than a minute. If a person’s pH is out of balance, it could mean that their lungs are not functioning well or that their kidneys are struggling to remove waste. The epoc® Blood Analysis System gives you lab-quality results here and now. The two most important measurements are pH, also called the acid-base balance, and PaO2. Results that fall outside the normal ranges do not always indicate a heart, lung, or kidney problem.Ī doctor is in the best position to explain to each person what their results mean. bicarbonate: 22–26 milliequivalents per literĪge, health history, and sex can influence these measurements.partial pressure of carbon dioxide: 35–45 mmHg.partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2): 80–100 millimeters of mercury (mmHg).The following are normal ranges for results of a blood gas test: the lungs are releasing enough carbon dioxide.The results of a blood gas test can show whether:
When making a diagnosis, a doctor will consider results of this test and others and a person’s overall health. Abnormal results of a blood gas test can indicate that health conditions or injuries are affecting a person’s breathing.
