Follow equipment: An abg (arterial blood gas) is a specialized type of blood draw from an artery, so you need an experienced medical professional with training/experience. This lab is usually run immediately for accuracy, so it needs to be done on site where there is a blood gas machine. Places that might have this would be doctor's offices or clinics, pulmonary labs, labs, hospitals, ers, instant care facilities.

Hospital: Usually blood gases are performed in a hospital where techs are trained to draw blood from an artery. A lab instrument called a co-oximeter is required to analyze arterial blood. Most doctor offices and clinics wouldn't have this.
