This article,because of its length, technical nature and subject is probably better suited to WikiBook:Medicine. I think the article should be copied to that section, then the general article should me condensed and merged with Arterial blood gas--Bwthemoose 13:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Wikipedia is not a technical manual nor a how to guide. Nor is wikipedia's purpose to service the training needs of professionals, but instead it is a general encyclopaedia for the general public. The "notes boxes" are totally inappropriate instruction to readers (wikipedia does not instruct or give direct advise its readers). Only a very little of this article would be appropriately incorporated into Arterial blood gas#Obtaining and processing the sample. Bwthemoose suggested Wikibook:Medicine which does not exist, instead it would need to be added under a suitable section at Wikibooks:Health science bookshelf#Medicine. However it might be better still at the Wikiversity of Wikiversity:School:Medicine. David Ruben ^Talk 03:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Quality and importance

This article needs drastic pruning to be acceptable as a encyclopedia article Right now it reads like a chapter from a textbook or a primer. I would call it Start class, and I would agree that it is of Low to Mid importance at best.--Bwthemoose/Talk 14:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
