pH and Severinghaus Electrodes Plan A Primary: Physics and Equipment
-
- Science
This episode covers the physics behind the pH and Severinghaus electrodes used to measure pH and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in blood gas machines.
It also covers how we get our bicarbonate and base excess values on blood gas results despite not measuring it directly.
All of these podcasts are free, so please feel free to share them with anyone who might find them useful.
