Editing Partial pressure (section)

==In medicine==
The partial pressures of particularly oxygen (<math>p_\mathrm{O_2}</math>) and carbon dioxide (<math>p_\mathrm{CO_2}</math>) are important parameters in tests of [[arterial blood gas]]es, but can also be measured in, for example, [[cerebrospinal fluid]]. {{why?|date=October 2018}}
