Blood gas analyzer - ABL800 FLEX - Radiometer
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is an acidic gas; the amount of CO 2 in blood is largely controlled by the rate and depth of breathing or ventilation. pCO 2 is the partial pressure of CO 2 in blood. It is a measure of the pressure exerted by that small portion (~5 %) of total CO 2 that remains in the gaseous state, dissolved in the blood plasma.
