Arterial blood gas monitoring

H C Gilbert et al. Crit Care Clin. 1995 Jan.

Abstract

Arterial blood gas determinations (ABGs) play an important role in diagnosing derangements in acid-base balance, oxygenation, and ventilation. Frequent assessment is necessary in the management of critically ill patients. This article reviews the technologic evolution of modern blood gas analysis and the clinical application of monitoring hydrogen ion content (pH), blood oxygen tension (PO2), and carbon dioxide tension (PCO2).
