Validation of the Accuracy of a Novel POCT Dry Blood Gas Analyzer in Acute Care Settings

This observational study aims to compare the performance of two blood gas analyzers, the EG-i30 dry blood gas analyzer and the ABL90 wet blood gas analyzer, in an emergency department (ED) or emergency intensive care unit (ICU) setting. The study will evaluate the consistency, correlation, and bias between the two analyzers for various blood gas and biochemical parameters, such as Potential of hydrogen (pH), Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Chloride (Cl-), Ionized calcium (iCa2+), Lactate (Lac), Glucose (Glu), and Hematocrit (Hct). The study design is observational, with no intervention or treatment assigned to the participants. The comparison will be made using residual blood samples collected as part of routine care, following standard clinical procedures.
