Hello everyone, arterial blood gas that is also known as abg test.
00:13
It is used to measure the level of oxygen, carbon dioxide, ph of blood, bicarbonate and oxygen saturation.
00:33
The main purpose of this test is actually to determine these levels in the blood.
00:39
Here the ph refers to the acid -based balance of blood.
00:50
Oxygen level represents the amount of oxygen in blood.
00:57
Oxygen in blood.
01:03
Co2 refers to the amount of co2 in blood.
01:12
Bicarbonate ion, that is hco3, represented the amount of co2 transported.
01:26
And the saturation of o2 is to represent.
01:32
In the hemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen.
01:41
And these values are specific, like the ph of blood is between 7 .35 to 7 .45...
