Capillary Blood Gas Analyzer
Interpret neonatal and pediatric capillary blood gases with bedside-focused acid-base analysis, perfusion-aware confidence scoring, and practical guidance on when to trust the heel-stick — and when to escalate to arterial sampling. Pair CBG interpretation with the Cord Gas Analyzer for delivery-room gases and the Pre/Post-Ductal Analyzer when oxygenation or ductal shunting is part of the question.

CBGs are useful for pH and ventilation trends, but oxygenation and delivery-room status often need other PulmTools references and analyzers.
Cord Gas Analyzer
Interpret umbilical arterial and venous cord gases with fetal acid-base classification and sampling reliability warnings.
Open →Pre/Post-Ductal Analyzer
Compare preductal and postductal oxygenation to detect ductal shunting, PPHN physiology, and CCHD screening patterns.
Open →ABG Analyzer
Interpret arterial blood gases when oxygenation decisions, PaO₂ reliability, or high-stakes ventilation changes require arterial confirmation.
