Assignment to Modules

Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks The Blood Gas Analysis Lab Course is offered together with Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics (BEMP) Lab Course that involves completing a selection of tasks offered and supervised by the experimental and theoretical research groups. This course offers opportunities for gaining some familiarity with the research interests of the associated research groups, thus facilitating future decisions regarding choices of specialization or topics for Master's theses.In this particular lab course, the students will learn about the blood gas analysis (BGA), also known as arterial blood gas (ABG) test, which is one of most important and commonly used tests performed in the point-of-care settings to assess the health of the patients’ lungs and kidneys. The test is used to quantify concentration of different gases, i.e. oxygen and carbon dioxide, metabolites, i.e. Glucose, Lactate, and electrolytes, i.e. Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, in the blood. A parallel measurement of the pH level and concentration of electrolytes and Hemoglobin (tHb, HHb, O2Hb, sO2, COHb, MetHb) in the blood can help in diagnosis of diseases such as the pulmonary or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, anemia, etc. Such analysis of patient’s blood is vital for disease diagnostics in the point-of-care settings.
