Calculate the plasma to blood CO2 content ratio via Douglas method

Description

douglas_co2_plasma_to_blood_ratio calculates the ratio between the CO2 content of plasma and the CO2 content of whole blood via the method described by \insertCitedouglas_1988co2ntent.

Usage

douglas_co2_plasma_to_blood_ratio(haemoglobin_g_dl, so2_fraction, ph = 7.4)

Arguments

haemoglobin_g_dl	Haemoglobin g/dL. No default
so2_fraction	Haemoglobin saturation as a fraction e.g 0 < so2_fraction < 1.0
ph	pH (hydrogen ion concentration). Default 7.40

Details

The plasma/blood ratio is calculated via an equation of the form derived by \insertCitevisser_1960co2ntent and \insertCitemchardy_1967co2ntent, but with the coefficients derived and published by \insertCitedouglas_1988co2ntent

Value

The CO2 content Plasma:Blood ratio
