Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Definition: Arterial blood gases (ABGs) are diagnostic tests performed on blood taken from an artery which contains oxygen and carbon dioxide. The Purpose of the ABG. ABGs measure how well the lungs can provide adequate oxygen to the body and subsequently remove carbon dioxide. Analysis of blood gases helps evaluate a person's respiratory and metabolic status. ABGs also measure blood pH and the integrity of the body's acid-base balance.
Total carbon dioxide blood content is the sum of these four components. Arterial blood gas analysis includes three parameters related to the carbon dioxide content of blood. 1  Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (p CO 2). 2  Plasma bicarbonate concentration (HCO 3 3  -). Plasma total concentration carbon dioxide (c tCO 2).
