Data are presented for various arterial blood values and the breathing frequency of the electric eel, Electrophoras electricus, an obligate air breather. All observations were made on un- restrained, free-swimming animals living at 28 "C in their home waters of the Amazon. Animals weighed from...
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Normal Lab ValuesArterial Blood Gases (ABGs) are measured in a laboratory test to determine the extent of compensation by the buffer system. It measures the acidity (pH) and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in arterial blood. Blood for an ABG test is taken...
An arterial blood gas (ABG) test assesses the acid-base balance, or pH, in the bloodstream. Learn what arterial blood gas is and the importance of pH balance, how results are interpreted, and a trick for remembering how to read ABG test results. ...
In addition to the influences on oxygen saturation or partial pressure already mentioned (pH, CO2 concentration, temperature, 2,3-BPG concentration), there are other factors that cause a change – usually a decrease – in arterial blood oxygen saturation. Some are described in more detail below....
Blood electrolytes, hemoglobin concentration, and renal function were normal. There was no history of bronchopulmonary infection, and arterial blood gas values in room air were PaO2 83 mmHg, PaCO2 38 mmHg, pH 7.40, and HCO3 25 mM. Electrocardiogram showed regular sinus rhythm, and blood pressure...
What is a normal pCO2 for arterial blood? a) 40 b) 60 c) 80 d) 100 Which would lower the affinity of hemoglobin or O_2? 1) Low blood pH. 2) High blood pH. 3) Low P_{CO_2}. 4) High P_{CO_2}. The average pH of blood ranges between _...

The venous cord gas was normal and the arterial blood gas was not consistent with intrapartum asphyxia. At the time of surgery, the placenta appeared grossly normal. The autopsy was entirely normal. This case raises questions about our understanding of intrauterine fetal demise and suggests an ...
Because most Blood test reference ranges (often referred to as 'normal' ranges of Blood test results) are typically defined as the range of values of the median 95% of the healthy population, it is unlikely that a given Blood sample, even from a healthy patient, will show "normal" values...
A Comparison of Simultaneously Collected Arterial, Mixed Venous, Jugular Venous and Cephalic Venous Blood Samples in the Assessment of Blood-Gas and Acid-B... Blood samples were collected simultaneously from the pulmonary artery, jugular vein, cephalic vein, and carotid artery in awake dogs. Blood...
