What is Understanding Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs) about?
An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures the pH, oxygen, and carbon dioxide levels in arterial blood to evaluate lung and respiratory function. It is usually performed for people with breathing issues like asthma or emphysema. The test is important because it determines the levels of oxygen being delivered to tissues and carbon dioxide being removed, and whether acid-base balance is being maintained.
