  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.

  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. Base excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_excess

    Base excess is defined as the amount of strong acid that must be added to each liter of fully oxygenated blood to return the pH to 7.40 at a temperature of 37°C and a pCO 2 of 40 mmHg (5.3 kPa). [2]

  7. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

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

    The body maintains a stable level of oxygen saturation for the most part by chemical processes of aerobic metabolism associated with breathing.Using the respiratory system, red blood cells, specifically the hemoglobin, gather oxygen in the lungs and distribute it to the rest of the body.

  9. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    When describing arterial blood gas, the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is usually quoted in terms of pCO 2, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, rather than H 2 CO 3 concentration. However, these quantities are related by the equation: [12]
