Detailed explanation-1: -An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood. It also checks the acidity of your blood. This is called your acid-base balance or your pH level.
Detailed explanation-2: -An acceptable normal range of ABG values of ABG components are the following, [6][7] noting that the range of normal values may vary among laboratories and in different age groups from neonates to geriatrics: pH (7.35-7.45) PaO2 (75-100 mmHg) PaCO2 (35-45 mmHg)
Detailed explanation-3: -An imbalance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood results in various metabolic disorders. By knowing the values of these six components a doctor can diagnose respiratory diseases, functional disorders of major organs, such as kidneys and heart, drug overdose, and metabolic disorders.
