TY - JOUR AU1 - BLYSTAD, WILHELM AB - Through gas analyses of cutaneous blood the author has tried to clarify the respiratory situation of premature infants. This first publication deals with the laboratory methods and the results obtained on premature infants without severe respiratory complications. Cutaneous blood samples obtained by hĂ©el puncture, 0.22 ml in volume, were employed in the analyses. Determinations of the CO2 and O2 tensions were carried out by equilibration of the sample with a small gas bubble. The equilibration and the gas analyses were carried out in the same apparatus, a Roughton‐Scholander syringe. Part of the same sample was then transferred to a small glass tube for subsequent centrifuging and determination of the CO2 content in plasma. Readings of the blood pH were made from Van Slyke's nomogram.
