  2. Blood gas tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_gas_tension

    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] The subscript x in each symbol represents the source of the gas being measured: "a" meaning arterial, "A" being alveolar, "v" being venous, and "c" being capillary. [3] Blood gas tests (such as arterial ...

    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.

    Oxygen tension of mixed venous blood: P (A-a) O 2: Alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference. The term formerly used (A-a D O 2) is discouraged. P (a/A) O 2: Alveolar-arterial tension ratio; P a O 2:P A O 2 The term oxygen exchange index describes this ratio. C (a-v) O 2: Arteriovenous oxygen content difference: S a O 2: Oxygen saturation of ...

  6. 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.

  9. Respiratory failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_failure

    Arterial blood gas (ABG) assessment is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for establishing a diagnosis of respiratory failure. [1] This is because ABG can be used to measure blood oxygen levels (PaO2), and respiratory failure (all types) is characterized by a low blood oxygen level.
