Arterial blood gases. 1986

W J Ventriglia

Blood gas determination provides physicians with detailed information regarding cardiopulmonary and metabolic homeostasis in the emergency patient. When integrated with the history and physical examination, the rapidly available arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is useful in the resuscitation of the acutely ill or injured patient. This article discusses the physiology, analysis, and interpretation of ABG.
