This in-depth course examines the basic principles of chemistry and physics related to blood gases and the physiology of respiration. The interpretation, collection, and sampling of blood gases, and non-invasive measurements, are examined with particular emphasis on clinical applications. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but a minimum of a two-year health care diploma program and a sound knowledge of human anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology are recommended.
