Evaluation of the relationship between pump duration and arterial blood gases in patients undergoing on-pump CABG

Abstract

Introduction: Arterial blood gas (ABG) is one of the most important laboratory tests to determine the pH status, oxygen, and carbon dioxide levels of the blood and bicarbonate levels. This test also helps to record the lactate, hemoglobin, and electrolyte levels. Evaluating the changes in these levels can play a critical role in determining the relationship with the various organ co plications. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between pump duration and arterial blood gases in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).
