Abstract
More than ten standard equations describing physiological dependencies of blood oxygen and acid-base status were combined with the TANH equation. to model the haemoglobin oxygen-binding curve in a computer programme called the Oxygen Status Algorithm. The programme takes measured quantities from blood gas analysers and multi-wavelength spectrophotometers together with a few user-supplied values to calculate a number of derived quantities. The resulting comprehensive blood gas analysis contains almost 30 values, which may be combined, displayed and interpreted with the aid of the programme. It is possible to test the effects of therapeutic measures using ”what if“ functions, reversing several of the calculations. On-line versions are being developed for several commercial analysers allowing easy collection of data. A new interface based on the Windows environment is discussed that makes almost exclusive use of graphical solutions for presentation of the results and interaction with the user.
