Venous Blood Gas (VBG)

Venous Blood Gas (VBG) is a diagnostic test that analyzes a sample of blood taken from a vein to assess how well your body is managing oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH levels. It provides important information about your body's acid-base balance and breathing efficiency. VBG is often used because it's less invasive and easier to obtain than arterial blood gas tests, offering valuable insights into your respiratory and metabolic status. The results help healthcare providers diagnose and manage conditions like respiratory or metabolic imbalances, guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
