Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of blood gas analysis in samples from two regions.Methods 112 patients with APACHE Ⅱ scores 27 ～ 43 were taken arterial blood from dorsalis pedis artery and femoral artery respectively. Compare the clinical effect of the samples. Results There is no statistically significant difference between results of two blood collection methods ( P ＞ 0. 05 ), While there is statistically significant difference in puncture success ( 110 vs 100, χ2 = 14.23, P ＜ 0. 05 ), vein mistaken injury, hematoma formation, thrombosis, and compression time ( 12 vs 1,7 vs 0,6 vs 0,5.5 ±0.7 vs 2.5 ±0.5 ;χ2 =9.32,5.99,4.85,t = 38. 06, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Blood collection method should be determined by the different situation of critically ill patients. Femoral artery blood sample should be taken with caution in order to prevent complication and improve quality of nursing care.
