BLOOD GAS MEASURMENTS
Blood gas measurements are used to evaluate your oxygenation and acid/base status. They are typically ordered if you have worsening symptoms of an acid/base imbalance, difficulty breathing, or shortness of breath. Blood gases may be ordered along with other tests, such as electrolytes to determine if an electrolyte imbalance is present, glucose to evaluate blood sugar concentrations, and BUN and creatinine tests to evaluate kidney function.
If you are on continuing supplemental oxygen therapy, blood gases may be used to monitor the effectiveness of that treatment.
