Embodiment Construction
[0058] The present invention is a method and corresponding computer system for identifying the extent to which a transient change in ventilation has modified a measure of arterial acid-base state. An element of the invention is a comparison of calculated and measured arterial acid-base states.
[0059] In general, artefacts are known to exist regarding effects on arterial blood from ventilation etc., however, the extent and quantification are poorly understood.
[0060] In particular, in situations where the patient has a sudden transient increase or decrease in ventilation, O2 consumption and CO 2 resulting in the assumption of constant ratios, see figure 1 . A sudden increase in ventilation will cause CO 2 exhale quickly. Since arterial blood volume is relatively small, CO in arterial blood 2 A rapid exhalation will be rapidly seen as an arterial PCO 2 , but no substantial change in arterial oxygen levels. When having a reduced PCO 2 When the arterial blood passes th...
