About

Blood gas analysis were routinely monitor every 4 hours in our surgical cardiac intensive care unit (SICU). These luxury investigations waste the resources. Therefore we develop a pathological- based guideline for arterial blood gas analysis in patients after cardiac surgery. We test the guideline for its safety and efficacy.
