血液气体

定义

血液气体 are a measurement of how much oxygen and carbon dioxide are in your blood. They also determine the acidity (pH) of your blood.

选择的名字

Arterial blood gas analysis; ABG; Hypoxia - ABG; Respiratory failure - ABG

How the Test is Performed

Usually, blood is taken from an artery. In some cases, blood from a vein may be used (venous blood gas).

Most commonly, blood may be collected from one of the following arteries:

• Radial artery in the wrist
• Femoral artery in the groin
• Brachial artery in the arm

The health care provider may test circulation to the hand before taking a sample of blood from the wrist area.

The provider inserts a small needle through the skin into the artery. The sample is quickly sent to a laboratory for analysis.

How to Prepare for the Test

There is no special preparation. If you are on oxygen therapy, the oxygen concentration must remain constant for 20 minutes before the test.

Tell your provider if you are taking any blood-thinning medicines (anticoagulants), 包括阿司匹林.

考试的感觉如何

When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. 这很快就会消失. Pain and discomfort tend to be worse than drawing blood from a vein.

Why the Test is Performed

The test is used to evaluate respiratory diseases and conditions that affect the lungs. It helps determine the effectiveness of oxygen therapy or non-invasive ventilation (BiPAP). The test also provides information about the body's acid/base balance, which can reveal important clues about lung and kidney function and the body's general 代谢状态.

正常的结果

海平面值:

• Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2): 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), or 10.5 to 13.5千帕(kPa)
• Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2): 38 to 42 mm Hg (5.1 to 5.6 kPa)
• 动脉血pH值:7.38 to 7.42
• Oxygen saturation (SaO2): 94% to 100%
• Bicarbonate (HCO3): 22 to 28 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L)

At altitudes of 3,000 feet (900 meters) and higher, the oxygen value is lower.

Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some laboratories include different measurements. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

What Abnormal Results Mean

Abnormal results may be due to lung, kidney, metabolic diseases, or medicines. Head or neck injuries or other injuries that affect breathing can also lead to abnormal results.

风险

There is little risk when the procedure is done correctly. Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.

Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

• Fainting or feeling lightheaded
• Multiple punctures to locate blood vessels
• Hematoma (blood buildup under the skin)
• 大出血
• Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
