Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study endpoint is the frequency of alterations in treatment of patients with respiratory complaints in the emergency department (ED) based on venous blood gas (VBG) results compared to treatment based on arterial blood gas (ABG) results. We will assess which alterations in treatment occur, the characteristics of alterations and which ABG results cause the change. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are the agreement between venous and arterial pH, bicarbonate, pCO2, lactate and pO2 and the correlation between venous and arterial pO2 and the peripheral oxygen saturation measured with pulse oximetry. | — |
