Blood PC02 may be measured by using direct spectrophotometer

Explanation:

Blood gas analysis or arterial blood gas (ABG) test is done to determine blood pH and the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in arterial blood.

Blood PCO2 is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide dissolved in the arterial blood.

ABG or oximetry test is done by using direct spectrophotometry in a spectrophotometer and gas analysis is done by calorimetric methods. Spectrophotmetry is highly used in Medicine to perform quantitative analysis of blood and its composition. The spectrophotometer measures the light intensity or wavelengths absorbed by the sample solution.  

Blood PCO2 reflects the degree of exchange gases in and out of the lungs. An increase in PCO2 levels indicates respiratory illnesses like obstructive lung diseases or pulmonary edema; while a decrease indicates conditions like hypoxia, pulmonary embolism, hyperventilation etc.

Atopic dermatitis is also known as eczema. It results in itchiness, inflammation, and dryness of the skin.

Chart review was conducted for 43 278 random patients that had associated ICD-9 codes of 691.8 or 692.9, 51,9, and 253 with 691.8 and 692.9. From the data analyzed it was found that there was a vast overlap: 34.3% had ≥1 incident of 691.8 and 692.9 and 25.6% had numerous incidents of both codes. Among patients with ≥1 incident of 691.8, 29.9% and 30.8% met the Hanifin & Rajka and United Kingdom Working Party criteria, respectively. Similarly, among patients with ≥1 occurrence of 692.9, 33.7% and 32.2% met the  Hanifin & Rajka and United Kingdom Working Party criteria. Increased position predictive value was associated with concomitant diagnoses of asthma, food allergy, hay fever, and increased disease severity.
