Na+, sodium; K+, potassium; Cl−, chloride; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; TCO2, total carbon dioxide; pCO2, partial pressure of carbon dioxide; HCO3, bicarbonate; pO2, oxygen partial pressure. For each species and analyte, the POC and standard (control) device are presented together with the relative comparison between the two. Where possible, the relevant body/experimental temperatures are presented. The distilled opinions presented by the authors of each study are also presented, but case-by-case caveats are not reported here. Many papers with ‘acceptable’ comparisons argue the need for corrective calculations or find these devices acceptable for relative rather than absolute measurement of an analyte.
