Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An arterial blood gas analysis (ABG) measures the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood to see how well your lungs are working.

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 arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood. It also measures your body’s acid-base (pH) level, which is usually in balance when you’re healthy. You may get this test if you’re in the hospital or if you have a serious injury or illness.

Detailed explanation-5: -Arterial blood gases (ABGs) is a collective term applied to three separate measurements-pH, Pco2, and Po2-generally made together to evaluate acid–base status, ventilation, and arterial oxygenation.
