Hi - I'm curious about this...I had a friend years ago that was a RT and I remember him speaking about Blood Gases for his patients - they had to draw blood. I know in the lab, they put something on your finger to measure oxygen - does this also measure CO2? One thing that has concerned me is I believe I have a very shallow breathing pattern - I don't know what is normal, but it just seems like my breathing moves little air. I may just be grasping here but I thought I'd ask. I thank you again for your kindness in sharing this information.
