ABG question

Published

I am doing research for my next essay which includes looking at arterial blood gassess, and in the US articles I have found they speak of Pao2 and PaCo2 in mmHG, In the UK we speak of them in terms of KPA, so the UK normal range for oxygen is 11-14 KPA where as the US one looks to be around 80-100 mmHg.

Does anyone know a conversion for mmHG to KPA? ideally one that is referenceable, such as on a web page or in a journal??

:chucklein lebanon, we also express the ABG's in mmhg, as in the US
