Effects of Analysis Delay on <scp>pH</scp>, <scp>pO<sub>2</sub></scp>, <scp>pCO<sub>2</sub></scp>, Bicarbonate, Glucose, Lactate, Electrolytes, and Other Arterial Blood Gas Variables
Although it is best practice to perform ABG analysis as soon as possible after sample collection, analysis may be unavoidably delayed. According to our results, changes in the blood gas variables did not exceed the predefined thresholds for clinical relevance during the first 30 min after sample collection.
