What Does ABG Stand For?
ABG stands for Arterial Blood Gases
ABG, or Arterial Blood Gases, refers to a diagnostic test that measures the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and the acidity (pH) of arterial blood. This test provides critical information about a patient's respiratory and metabolic status, assessing the efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs and the body's acid-base balance. ABG analysis is commonly used in various clinical settings, particularly in critical care, to guide treatment decisions and monitor patient progress.
