Arterial Blood Gas analyser is one of the most important point of care testing in intensive care unit that plays a vital role in management of critically ill patients.1-4 The understanding of arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis and interpretation is a challenging and an arduous task yet timely management in emergency clinical conditions results in decreasing the morbidity and mortality of the patients. The accuracy of the blood gas report depends not only on the correct interpretation and proper clinical correlation of the given data's but also depends on the knowledge of preanalytical and analytical errors. The most common problems that are encountered during the collection of the samples are non-arterial samples, air bubbles in the sample, inadequate or excessive anticoagulant in the sample and delayed analysis of a non-cooled sample. Before making an interpretation of the blood gas analysis, it is better to check the consistency of the report by the Modified Henderson Equation.

Dr.T.Rajini Samuel did MBBS ( 2004 - 2010 ) from Chengalpattu Government Medical College located in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, India. Then he served as a duty doctor in Venkateshwara Hospitals Nandanam, Chennai for a period of 2 years (2010 - 2012). He did 3 years M.D (2012-2015) in Biochemistry from Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospitals, Chennai. After completing his post-graduation, he joined as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at Shri Sathya Sai Medical College and Research Institute, Thiruporur from May 2015 and working till date. He was more interested in mathematics and physics. He started his research in Electro-cardiogram( E.C.G ) interpretation out of his own interest and self funded during the under-graduation. By using the mathematics and physics principle, he had found some innovative ideas in ECG. He completed his research in ECG in the year 2010 but the findings were accepted and published only in the year 2012. He proposed the Cardiac Vector Hypotheses, explained the Einthoven’s Equilateral Triangle Hypotheses and developed a novel four quadrant graphical method for ECG interpretation that has immense clinical value. After that, he focused his research on Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) interpretation. The project on ABG interpretation was started in the year 2012. A lot of ABG data’s were collected for many years, newer parameters and formulas were derived which are utilized for the development of a novel graphical tool and a newer interpretation method for arterial blood gas analysis.
