| Abstract |
After training in physics during World War II, I spent 2 years designing radar at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then switched to biophysics. After medical school and a residency, I was doctor drafted to National Institutes of Health where I studied blood gas transport in hypothermia and developed the carbon dioxide electrode and the blood gas analyzer (pH, partial pressure of O2, and partial pressure of CO2). I joined the University of California San Francisco in 1958 in a new anesthesia department and new Cardiovascular Research Institute. My research aims were anesthesia patient monitoring, respiratory physiology, blood gas transport, and high-altitude acclimatization and pathology. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 June 2021.
All research outputs
#3,930,408
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from Extreme Physiology & Medicine
#41
of 107 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#35,758
of 210,925 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Extreme Physiology & Medicine
#3
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 107 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 210,925 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
