In bakenzua/co2ntent: Calculate Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen content of blood

Calculate whole blood CO2 content as per Siggaard-Andersen method.

Description

siggaard_andersen_blood_co2_content_mmol_dl calculates whole blood CO2 content via the method described by \insertCitesiggaard_1988co2ntent.

Usage

siggaard_andersen_blood_co2_content_mmol_dl(hco3_mmols_dl, pco2,
  haemoglobin_g_dl, so2_fraction, ph = 7.4, inputs_are_kpa = TRUE)

Arguments

hco3_mmols_dl	plasma bicarbonate concentration mmols/dL
pco2	CO2 partial pressure
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
inputs_are_kpa	If TRUE, input pCO2 is in kPa, if FALSE use mmHg

Value

The CO2 content of blood in mmol/dL
