Arterial Blood Gas Interpretation (ABG) Arterial Blood Gas Analysis is used to measure the partial pressures of oxygen (PaO2)‚ carbon dioxide (PaCO2)‚ and the pH of an arterial blood sample. Oxygen content (O2CT)‚ oxygen saturation (SaO2)‚ and bicarbonate (HCO3-) values are also measured. A blood sample for ABG analysis may be drawn by percutaneous arterial puncture from an arterial line. The ABG analysis is mainly used to evaluate gas exchange in the lungs. It is also used to assess integrity of
