ABSTRACT
An arterial gas blood test is a common hospital procedure that must be mastered and understood by the physician in training.
Arterial gas blood test gives information about the patient´s respiratory and acid – base state. Oxygen, carbon dioxide and
bicarbonate levels can be measured, among others. With these data, the type of the acid – base disorder can be identified
(metabolic, respiratory or mixed). Value interpretation, along with other parameters such as Sodium (Na), Potassium (K),
Chloride (Cl) and Albumin can help orient diagnosis as well as the anion gap. The main goal of this review is to illustrate in a
simple manner to the training physician the use interpretation of arterial gasometry values, as well as describing the technique
for sample gathering.
