Arterial blood gas analysis (ABG) is most often performed to evaluate respiratory diseases and other conditions that affect the lungs as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of oxygen therapy. An ABG ...
Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TcCO₂) monitoring represents a significant non‐invasive approach for assessing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO₂), traditionally measured through arterial ...
The results of blood gas analyses are used for many patient management decisions, often in a time-sensitive setting. Several pre-analytical factors can affect blood gas and oxygen saturation results.
