Abbreviation ABG Medical
Abbreviation ABG Medical - ABG stands for "arterial blood gas." An ABG test is a blood test that measures the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, as well as the pH (acidity) of the blood. It can help diagnose and monitor a range of conditions, including respiratory and metabolic disorders.
What is a normal ABG level?
Normal values for ABG levels can vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the individual's age and health status, but here are some typical ranges:
pH: 7.35-7.45
The partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2): 75-100 mm Hg
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2): 35-45 mm Hg
Bicarbonate (HCO3-): 22-28 mEq/L
Oxygen saturation (SaO2): 95-100%
