An Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) test measures the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and bicarbonate, as well as the pH of arterial blood.
This test is crucial for assessing lung function and how well the lungs can move oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.
It's often used to check the severity of gas exchange disturbances in conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or in patients on mechanical ventilation. It also helps in managing critical care patients. 💉
