Abstract
Arterial blood gases (ABG) results reflect underlying pathology and interpretation of the results are often compounded by ongoing disease processes and clinical interventions. While ABG specimens should be analysed immediately for optimal results the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has recommended a window of 30 minutes at room temperature from blood collection to ABG analysis. A fresh and simple approach to interpreting ABG is provided.
