The use of venous blood gas in assessing arterial acid−base and oxygenation status–an analysis of aggregated data from multiple studies evaluating the venous to arterial conversion (v-TAC) method
(2024) In Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine 18(7). p.553-559- Abstract
Background: Several methods exist to reduce the number of arterial blood gases (ABGs). One method, Roche v-TAC, has been evaluated in different patient groups. This paper aggregates data from these studies, in different patient categories using common analysis criteria. Research design and methods: We included studies evaluating v-TAC based on paired arterial and peripheral venous blood samples. Bland-Altman analysis compared measured and calculated arterial values of pH, PCO2, and PO2. Subgroup analyses were performed for normal, chronic hypercapnia and chronic base excess, acute hyper- and hypocapnia, and acute and chronic base deficits. Results: 811 samples from 12 studies were included. Bias and limits of... (More)
Background: Several methods exist to reduce the number of arterial blood gases (ABGs). One method, Roche v-TAC, has been evaluated in different patient groups. This paper aggregates data from these studies, in different patient categories using common analysis criteria. Research design and methods: We included studies evaluating v-TAC based on paired arterial and peripheral venous blood samples. Bland-Altman analysis compared measured and calculated arterial values of pH, PCO2, and PO2. Subgroup analyses were performed for normal, chronic hypercapnia and chronic base excess, acute hyper- and hypocapnia, and acute and chronic base deficits. Results: 811 samples from 12 studies were included. Bias and limits of agreement for measured and calculated values: pH 0.001 (−0.029 to 0.031), PCO2 −0.08 (−0.65 to 0.49) kPa, and PO2 0.04 (−1.71 to 1.78) kPa, with similar values for all sub-group analyses. Conclusion: These data suggest that v-TAC analysis may have a role in replacing ABGs, avoiding arterial puncture. Substantial data exist in patients with chronic hypercapnia and chronic base excess, acute hyper- and hypocapnia, and in patients with relatively normal acid−base status, with similar bias and precision across groups and across study data. Limited data exist for patients with acute and chronic base deficits.
