- Arterial Blood Gas (ABG): What It Is, Purpose, Procedure Levels
An arterial blood gas (ABG) test is a blood test that requires a sample from an artery in your body to measure the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood

CRITICAL ACTIONS 1 Ensure proper sampling of blood specimen 2 Consider repeating ABG if results do not fit the patient history and clinical scenario 3 A venous blood gas (VBG) can also be checked to see if it correlates with ABG results (only PaO2 should be different)

An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acidity in your blood to see how well your lungs, heart and kidneys are working
- ABG, VBG, and pulse oximetry - EMCrit Project
Portable ABG meters often measure pO2 and subsequently estimate the oxygen saturation Thus, the portable ABG meter may provide an inferior evaluation of systemic oxygen delivery as compared to pulse oximetry (which is directly measuring the oxygen saturation)
