title: The calculation of reference intervals for oxygen availability parameters from measurements on peripheral venous blood.
abstract: An approach to the calculation of reference intervals for oxygen availability parameters using measurements on peripheral blood is described. The technique involves generating the haemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve from a single point using the technique of Siggaard-Andersen et al. and making the appropriate calculation from the curve.
