Which of the following parameters is measured in an Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) test?
-
Blood sugar levels
-
Carbon dioxide levels
-
Hemoglobin concentration
-
Red blood cell count
Correct Answer
A. Carbon dioxide levelsExplanation
An Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) test measures the levels of oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and the blood’s pH (acidity or alkalinity) in arterial blood. The test is commonly used to assess how well the lungs are functioning in oxygenating the blood and removing CO₂. ABG also measures bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) and the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) and carbon dioxide (PaCO₂). Blood sugar, hemoglobin concentration, and red blood cell count are not assessed in an ABG test; they are measured through other specific blood tests.Rate this question:
