The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the warm-air box method on the arterialization of venous blood during euglycaemia and hypoglycaemia. Six healthy male volunteers were studied using an i.v. infusion of insulin (144 mU.kg-1.h-1). Arterial blood glucose was clamped at the baseline level for the first 30 min and subsequently reduced to 3.2 and to 2.5 mmol/lf or 20 min. At each stage, including prior to insulin infusion, arterial, arterialized venous (heating the hand in a warm-air box set to 55-60 degrees C), venous and capillary blood samples were taken simultaneously for analyses of blood glucose and oxygen saturation (not for capillary blood). The oxygen saturations in arterialized blood were approximately 3% below the arterial values. The arterial-arterialized difference of blood glucose was about 0.1 mmol/l (the 95% confidence interval: from -0.19 to 0.41 mmol/l), which tended to correlate with the difference in oxygen saturations between the arterial and arterialized blood samples (r = 0.25, p = 0.08). During the test the forearm venous blood oxygen saturation increased by 9% and the arteriovenous difference in blood glucose ranged from 0.2 to 0.5 mmol/l which correlated significantly with the difference in oxygen saturations (r = 0.48, p less than 0.001). Capillary glucose was similar to the arterialized value. Rectal temperature was stable during the experiment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
