Radiometer's Blood Gas Handbook now available for iPhone(R) and iPad(R)
Radiometer's classic publication, The Blood Gas Handbook, is now available as an app for Apple's iPhone, iPod touch® and iPad.
- (1888PressRelease) November 12, 2011 - Blood gas status plays a key role in assessing the condition of critically ill patients, and this easy-to-use app aids the clinician in evaluating arterial oxygen status based on comprehensive blood gas analysis, including oximetry, and a closely related parameter, lactate.
The evaluation of blood gas parameters can be divided into subgroups - oxygen status, related metabolic parameters and acid-base status - and, as each subgroup consists of several parameters, the volume of data requiring interpretation can be overwhelming. As well as providing guidance and continuous access to information to assist the clinician with this task, Radiometer's interactive app allows users to add and edit their own reference intervals and to include notes for individual parameters. The blood gas app also has a search function, the capability to zoom in on images, and allows import and export of user-defined notes and reference intervals via iTunes®. A description of the parameters available on Radiometer's blood gas analysers, plus guides to their evaluation, is also provided.
Radiometer's blood gas app supports both English and Danish, and is available worldwide as a free-of-charge download from the Apple App Store. To date, there have been over 17,000 downloads of the blood gas app.
