A stable blood product for pH-blood-gas quality control

MC Steiner, BA Shapiro, J Kavanaugh, JR Walton and W Johnson

We describe how to prepare, store, and use a hemolyzed blood product for simultaneous pH, pCO2, and pO2 quality control. Tonometry of the blood product with two oxygen and two carbon dioxide concentrations resulted in consistent and reproducible values during 38 weeks. The resulting pH values were consistent and reproducible, demonstrating the metabolic acid-base stability of the blood product. We conclude that the proper preparation, storage, and use of the product results in consistent, reproducible, and economical quality control for pH, pCO2 and pO2 blood measurements.
