What Does CBG Stand For?
CBG stands for Capillary Blood Gas
Capillary Blood Gas (CBG) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the gas exchange and acid-base balance in the blood by measuring levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH from capillary blood samples. Often performed in neonates and patients with limited venous access, CBG provides critical information for assessing respiratory function and metabolic status, aiding in the management of various medical conditions.
