In medicine and physiology, blood gas analysis is "measurement of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood."[1]
Venous blood
One study concluded "The mean difference between arterial and venous values of pH was 0.03 pH units."[2] If the pCO2 of of venous blood is less than 45 mm Hg, then the arterial pCO2 is very likely less than 50 mm hg.[3]
Artifacts in measurement
Delay in analysis after collection of blood
Exposure of bllod to room aire
