2. Arterial blood gas test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_blood_gas_test

   An arterial blood gas (ABG) test, or arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) measures the amounts of arterial gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. An ABG test requires that a small volume of blood be drawn from the radial artery with a syringe and a thin needle , [ 1 ] but sometimes the femoral artery in the groin or another site is used.

3. Blood gas test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_gas_test

   A blood gas test or blood gas analysis tests blood to measure blood gas tension values, it also measures blood pH, and the level and base excess of bicarbonate.The source of the blood is reflected in the name of each test; arterial blood gases come from arteries, venous blood gases come from veins and capillary blood gases come from capillaries. [1]

4. Arterial line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_line

   Arterial lines are most commonly used in intensive care medicine and anesthesia to monitor blood pressure directly and in real-time (rather than by intermittent and indirect measurement) and to obtain samples for arterial blood gas analysis.

5. Blood gas tension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_gas_tension

   Blood gas tension refers to the partial pressure of gases in blood. [1] There are several significant purposes for measuring gas tension. [ 2 ] The most common gas tensions measured are oxygen tension (P x O 2 ), carbon dioxide tension (P x CO 2 ) and carbon monoxide tension (P x CO). [ 3 ]

6. Fraction of inspired oxygen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_of_Inspired_Oxygen

   This helps to determine the degree of any problems with how the lungs transfer oxygen to the blood. [5] A sample of arterial blood is collected for this test. [6] With a normal P a O 2 of 60–100 mmHg and an oxygen content of F I O 2 of 0.21 of room air, a normal P a O 2 /F I O 2 ratio ranges between 300 and 500 mmHg.

8. Alveolar–arterial gradient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar–arterial_gradient

   However even though the partial pressure of oxygen is about equilibrated between the pulmonary capillaries and the alveolar gas, this equilibrium is not maintained as blood travels further through pulmonary circulation. As a rule, PAO 2 is always higher than P a O 2 by at least 5–10 mmHg, even in a healthy person with normal ventilation and ...

9. Sampling (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(medicine)

   Venous blood sampling, also called phlebotomy. It is generally done by venipuncture (which can also be used for intravenous therapy). Other than routine diabetic monitoring for glucose, the majority of blood tests are done on samples of venous blood taken by a health professional, including phlebotomists who are specifically trained in ...
