The ABG Test measures oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases in the blood to evaluate lung function and acid-base balance.

A blood sample is collected from an artery, typically in the wrist or arm, using a needle.

No special preparation is required, but avoid smoking or strenuous exercise before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.

Results are usually available within a few hours of the test, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider for appropriate interpretation and to determine the next steps for treatment or further testing.

The surgery itself is not painful due to anesthesia. Post-surgery, some discomfort at the incision site is normal but manageable.

Spirometry is a lung function test that measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, and how quickly you can do it.

Wear loose clothing, avoid heavy meals or intense exercise before the test, and follow any specific instructions from your doctor.

No, spirometry is non-invasive and painless. You will be asked to breathe into a device, which may feel slightly uncomfortable but is not painful.

The test itself takes about 15-30 minutes. Results are usually available immediately or within a few hours.

The frequency depends on your health conditions and doctor’s recommendations. It may be performed regularly for ongoing monitoring or as needed for diagnosis.
