	Arterial blood gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arterial blood gas measurement is a blood test that is performed to determine the concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, as well as the pH, in the blood.
		Arterial blood is taken from any easily accessible artery (typically either radial, brachial or femoral) or out of an arterial line.
		The machine aspirates this blood from the syringe and measures the pH and the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide and the bicarbonate concentration, as well as the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin.

	Blood gas analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Blood gas analysis, also called arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, is a test which measures the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, as well as the acidity (pH) of the blood.
		Blood gas studies are usually done to assess respiratory disease and other conditions that may affect the lungs, and to manage patients receiving oxygen therapy (respiratory therapy).
		The blood sample is obtained by arterial puncture (usually in the wrist, although it could be in the groin or arm) or from an arterial line already in place.

		Blood gas analyses are performed to evaluate the adequacy of ventilation, oxygenation, oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and acid-base levels.
		The commonest artery used is the radial followed by the dorsalis pedis; rarely the brachial and the femoral vessels (as they are the principal sources of blood supply to the limbs).
		The saturation as obtained by a blood gas analysis is more accurate than that obtained by a pulse oximetry, as it is not influenced by shock states and skin pigmentation.

	Arterial Blood Gas Analysis (ABG)

		A blood sample for ABG analysis may be drawn by percutaneous arterial puncture or from an arterial line.
		Such findings are common in pneumothorax, impaired diffusion between alveoli and blood (due to interstitial fibrosis, for example), or an arteriovenous shunt that permits blood to bypass the lungs.

	Blood Gas Text
		There are four good reasons for obtaining blood gases: 1) to assess the oxygenation capacity of the lungs for diagnostic reasons, 2) to assess the oxygen pressure in the blood for therapeutic reasons, 3) to assess respiratory adequacy, and 4) to assess acid-base status.
		And of course, blood gases are used to monitor the therapy of acidosis in the unstable patient.
		Blood gases are drawn from an artery with a small needle attached to a syringe.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Blood gases
		Blood gases measure the pH (acidity), oxygen content, and carbon dioxide content of the blood.
		Usually, blood gases are used to analyze the arterial blood.
		Using a small needle, the sample may be collected from the radial artery in the wrist, the femoral artery in the groin, or the brachial artery in the arm.

	Dr. Niels Jensen Anesthesiology Board Review and PREP: Books and Courses for Anesthesia Board Examinations
		In terms of arterial oxygen content, recall that oxygen is present in the blood in two forms: First, bound to hemoglobin and second dissolved in plasma.
		Blood gas samples are highly susceptible to pre-analytic error due to improper methods in obtaining and handling samples.
		We must be able to apply the information that we gain from an arterial blood gas: to evaluate the status of the acid-base balance, the status of oxygenation and ventilation, the need for emergent intubation, and the appropriateness of extubation, to name a few.

		Blood is drawn anaerobically from a peripheral artery (radial, brachial, femoral, or dorsalis pedis) via a single percutaneous needle puncture, or from an indwelling arterial cannula or catheter for multiple samples.
		Immediate chilling is necessary.(12-13) Some dual-purpose electrolyte/blood gas analyzers stipulate immediate analysis without chilling because of possible elevations in potassium from chilling;(14) however, the accuracy of the blood gas results should not be affected by the chilling.
		Arterial blood sampling should be performed under the direction of a physician specifically trained in laboratory medicine, pulmonary medicine, anesthesia, or critical care.

		Both chest x-ray and ECG may suggest pulmonary embolism, but their primary value is in identifying other cardiac or pulmonary conditions that might cause a similar picture.
		When a pulmonary angiogram—an x-ray of the inside of a pulmonary artery—shows an internal filling defect in the pulmonary arteries, the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is confirmed.
		Angiography may not be available in some hospitals because of a lack of skilled personnel and because of its high cost.
