A member asked:

What does high venous blood gas mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Venous blood gas: Blood gas results are taken on arterial blood only. If the technician did not get an arterial sample while attempting to get a blood gas, the results are meaningless. A repeat blood gas will need to be reordered.
