The history of blood gas and electrolyte analyzers can be traced back in 1957 with the development of the first blood gas analyzer measuring pH, PCO2 and PO2. Commercially blood gas analyzers were available in the mid-1960s and were basically used in clinical laboratories. By 1966, blood gas analysis was widely adopted in clinical settings, intensive care, anesthesia and surgeries. Later, the first combined blood gas and electrolyte analyzer was developed in 1985 that measured pH, PO2, PCO2, K, iCa, Na and hematocrit.
 

Further, with the introduction of whole blood biosensors, blood gas analyzers evolved into complete critical care analyzers. These are capable of executing a wide menu including pH, PO2, PCO2, Na, Cl, K, iMg, iCa, glucose, hemoglobin, urea, lactate, hematocrit, O2 saturation, creatinine and co-oximetry. With intensely expanded abilities, the analyzers are now deployed routinely in critical care areas including surgery, ICU, NICU and ED. Extended test menus that aid usage of intensive care blood gas analyzers in various critical indications will surge its adoption in the foreseeable future.
