Oxygen electrode syringe as an instrument for determining oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curves.
A new instrument is described which simplifies the measurement of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, using small volumes of blood. An oxygen electrode, as the plunger of a syringe accommodating increasing volumes of blood at predetermined levels of saturation with oxygen, measures the amount of dissolved oxygen in the plasma, which is proportional to the gas tension.
