Blood Gases
A blood gases test measures oxygen levels, carbon dioxide levels, and acidity, or pH, in the blood. The blood sample is usually taken from an artery in the wrist. Blood gases testing is generally used for detecting and monitoring lung and kidney problems as well as other conditions that can...
