Highlights
Blood gas values of Lactate, HCO3, and pH have shown acceptable association and significant correlation, and they can be considered clinically interchangeable with arterial blood gas (ABG) values
The current study showed that the agreement between ABG and venous blood gas (VBG) analysis was strong for pH, Lactate, and bicarbonate and poor agreement in PCO2 and PO2
Our study has shown that VBG pCO2 has a poor agreement with ABG pCO2, as seen by the wide 95% level of agreement
Summary
Blood's main job is to deliver oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs [1]. This function is necessary in order to prevent tissue death due to hypoxia. Arterial blood gas (ABG) monitoring is an important part of the care of critically ill patients and aesthetic management of high-risk patients. Because these areas exhibit abrupt and life-threatening changes in each system involved, every physician, including anesthesiologists and nurses, must have a good understanding of acid-base balance [1]. This study included the evaluation of specificity and sensitivity of VBGs values for the identification of abnormal ABG values
