title: [Importance of correcting the temperature in the determination of arterial gasometry].
abstract: The final results of arterial blood gases can be affected for several technical factors. If the results have to be corrected for patient temperature, is still a controversial issue. Our observations support that final results should be corrected for temperature because the variation might be clinically relevant in the management of respiratory patients.
