EDAN i15 Veterinary Blood Gas Analyzer POC – Theory

The system utilizes potentiometry and amperometry to determine the concentrations of pH, blood gases (pCO2, pO2), electrolytes (Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl‐) and metabolites (Glu and Lac), and utilizes conductivity to determine the concentration of Hct. Many parameters can also be calculated suchas cH+, HCO3–act, HCO3–std, BE(ecf), BE(B), BB(B), and so on.

Measurement Method

Methods

Measurements are performed on undiluted specimens. Undiluted methods are also called direct methods, whereas methods that dilute the sample are called indirect methods.

For electrolytes, direct methods measure the free ion concentration of analyte (apparent or free ion activity) per unit volume of plasma water, and indirect methods measure the concentration of analyte per unit volume of plasma. It is known that the direct method gives the clinically significant result for electrolytes. When there is disagreement between the methods, such as when the patient has abnormal total protein or lipid levels, it results from interference on the indirect method. At normal levels of protein and lipids the systematic offset between methods is often corrected for in commercial direct measuring instruments so that the normal ranges for all instruments are in agreement. Sensors have been calibrated in the manufacture so that normal ranges are in agreement with indirect reference methods at normal levels of total protein and lipids.

Direct measurement of hematocrit by the conductometric technique gives a result related to the non-conducting excluded volume fraction of the sample. Red blood cell volume is the predominant component of the nonconducting volume, but proteins, lipids, and white blood cells also contribute. Elevated hematocrit readings are expected at abnormally elevated levels of these components. Decreased hematocrit readings are expected at abnormally low levels of protein, such as found in hemodiluted samples taken from cardiopulmonary bypass. Osmotic imbalance causes a discrepancy between direct (conductometric, spun) and indirect (Coulter) measurements because of variation in the meancell volume.
