pH/HCO3/H2CO3 equation (HH)
ph=pka + log (HCO3/pCO2*0.0301)
pH measurement
Glass membrane
H+ exchange causing potential to develop
pCO2 measurement
Serveringhaus electrode
pH buffer lowered in presence of CO2 (proportional)
pO2 measurement
Clark electrode
change in electrical current occurs as O2 diffuses from blood
HCO3/H2CO3 buffer
CO2 + H2O are converted into H2CO3 by carbonic anhydrase which is broken down into H+ and HCO3-
