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.
Arterial blood gas analysis is used to determine the adequacy of oxygenation and ventilation, assess respiratory function and determine the acidâbase balance. These data provide information regarding potential primary and compensatory processes that affect the bodyâs acidâbase buffering system. 1  Metabolic Acidosis.rterial blood gas analysis is used to determine the adequacy of oxygenation and ventilation, assess respiratory function and determine the acidâbase balance.
