Hi Donnie, Thank you for your response. Currently we advise RT and nursing team to temperature correct blood gases (pO2, pH, PCO2) when the patient temperature is 35 C and requested by provider. Not sure if other institutions have a policy/procedure in place that states what scenarios it is acceptable to temperature correct blood gases. 

Ok, thank you for explaining. Our policy does not include a temperature correction process. 

Hi Sonia,
Our policy doesn't address temp corrected but the operator can enter the lower/hight temp on the Istat and it will do the temp correction and order a temp correct blood gas.  We have it set up so the temp corrected result is what gets sent to the EMR.
