what is ABG test – how to check if oxygen and co2 level in blood okay

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 normally balanced when you are healthy.
Arterial blood gas test results may show whether:
Your lungs are getting enough oxygen
Your lungs are removing enough carbon dioxide
Your kidneys are working properly

There are 4 important measuresment to look at

The Normal Values are:
Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2): 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2): 35 to 45 mm Hg
Arterial blood pH: 7.35 to 7.45.
Oxygen saturation (SaO2): 94% to 100%
