Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Test

An arterial blood gas (ABG) test is a blood test that needs an artery sample in your body to measure the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood. The test also examines the balance of acids and bases in your blood, known as the pH balance.

This is also called blood gas analysis.
