Summary:To evaluate the clinical significance of a computer software for the analysis of arterial blood gases graph (ABGG) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). The software was developed with Win98 as the operating platform and the visual software Delphi 5.0 from Borland Company, and it was used for evaluation of the changes in arterial blood gases (ABG) of 231 COPD cases. (1) With the software it took only (4.7+/-0.5)s to draw and analyze an ABGG of COPD patients during oxygen inhalation; the time was much shorter than manual analysis (90.2+/-4.9)s, P<0.001. (2) During acute attack, the distributions of the arterial blood gases parameters on ABGG were as follows: 55.4% of cases in the area of insufficient ventilation and deranged gas exchange (area 5), 22.9% of cases in the area of compensated ventilation and deranged gas exchange (area 4), 21.6% of cases in the area of excessive ventilation and deranged gas exchange (area 6). (3) When the COPD patient's condition improved, the location of ABG in ABGG shi
