A new method for the direct estimation of blood oxygen content.
Identical blood samples were estimated for oxygen content by a fuel cell analyser (the "Lex-O2-Con'), and by the Van Slyke manometric technique. The new instrument was found to be accurate and repeatable, as well as quicker and easier to operate. Its response to oxygen was found to be unaffected by the presence of common anaesthetic agents.
