Abstract: | Ten experimental dogs were tested in twelve experimental arrangements, with a view to finding out the extent to which results of acid-base determination or blood gas analysis could be significantly affected by induced hyperaemia of the ear or by the choice of a site for blood collection, including puncture of an ear vein. No difference was secured. Hence, ear vein puncture may be used to collect so-called capillary blood. Reference is made to the author's own values for use as criteria. |
