Book a Test- Arterial Blood Gases (ABG)

Arterial Blood Gases (ABG) is a medical test that measures the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH in the blood. The test requires a sample of blood to be taken from an artery, typically the radial artery in the wrist. This test provides valuable information about the body's respiratory and metabolic status, helping healthcare professionals to diagnose and manage various medical conditions. The ABG test is commonly used to evaluate respiratory function and diagnose respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also used to monitor patients with critical illnesses, such as sepsis or heart failure, and to assess the effectiveness of oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation. By analyzing the results of the ABG test, healthcare professionals can gain a better understanding of a patient's overall health and make informed decisions about their care.
