Automatic real-time analysis and interpretation of arterial blood gas sample for Point-of-care testing: Clinical validation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Point-of-care arterial blood gas (ABG) is a blood measurement test and a useful diagnostic tool that assists with treatment and therefore improves clinical outcomes. However, numerically reported test results make rapid interpretation difficult or open to interpretation. The arterial blood gas algorithm (ABG-a) is a new digital diagnostics solution that can provide clinicians with real-time interpretation of preliminary data on safety features, oxygenation, acid-base disturbances and renal profile. The main aim of this study was to clinically validate the algorithm against senior experienced clinicians, for acid-base interpretation, in a clinical context.

Methods

We conducted a prospective international multicentre observational cross-sectional study. 346 sample s
