    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 levels
    Explanation
    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.
