Blood Gas Analysis in Veterinary Medicine
Blood gas analysis is a systematic laboratory method for measuring partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide, pH, bicarbonate, and electrolytes in arterial or venous blood. Formalized in veterinary medicine since the 1960s-1970s, it provides critical real-time assessment of respiratory function, metabolic status, and acid-base balance, enabling rapid diagnosis and monitoring of severely ill animals and guiding intensive care management.
