What Information Does the ABG Test Provide?

The ABG test measures several important parameters:
- pH: Indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the blood.
- PaO2: Partial pressure of oxygen, reflecting oxygen levels in the blood.
- PaCO2: Partial pressure of carbon dioxide, indicating how well CO2 is being removed.
- HCO3-: Bicarbonate levels, providing insight into the metabolic component of acid-base balance.
- SaO2: Oxygen saturation, showing the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen.
