A blood gas analyzer is a diagnostic instrument that evaluates blood pH, oxygen, and carbon dioxide levels. It also measures bicarbonate and electrolyte concentrations to assess metabolic balance. Results are generated within minutes, making it a vital tool in emergency and intensive care units. Doctors use it to manage patients with respiratory disorders or those requiring ventilator support. The analyzer provides critical information on acid-base balance and oxygenation. Its speed and precision make it indispensable in critical care settings.
