Correlation and Interchangeability of Venous and Capillary Blood Gases in Non-Critically Ill Neonates
BackgroundVenous blood gas (VBG) is frequently used in the neonatal unit as alternative for capillary blood gas (CBG). However, studies reporting correlation are conflicting and data on interchangeability in neonates are lacking.ObjectiveWe investigated the correlation and interchangeability of the...
