AB Blood  gases  provide  important  clinical  information  for  patients  with  respiratory  disorders,  compromised  circulation,  or  abnormal  metabolism.  In  recent  years,  a  number  of  surrogates  for  blood  gas  analysis  have  entered  the  daily  practice  of  emergency  medicine.  Leveraging  the  benefits  of  blood  gases  requires  an  understanding  of  the  underlying  physiology,  appropriate  use  of  arterial  and  venous  blood  gases,  and  knowledge  of  the  advantages  and  limitations  of  noninvasive  monitoring  methods.  This  chapter  will  be  limited  to  evaluation  of  oxygen  and  carbon  dioxide  levels;  for  information  on  carbon  monoxide,  please  refer  to  chapter  222,  "Carbon  Monoxide."
