The reference you refer to is your PaO2 or partial pressure of

oxygenation. Normal is 75-100 mmHg, although it does vary some by lab.

There are other measurements often taken in ABG's as well. It is used to

measure carbon dioxide, pH, oxygen saturation and bicarbonite. Best wait

until the doctor can interpret the full results and discuss with you. We

would expect any of us to have abnormal results.

I went through similar to you the only time I had an ABG and it took 8

misses before they got an artery. Now, mine was suppose to be under

exertion and by that time I was fully rested so basically it wasn't of

any real benefit. In addition my doctor didn't trust the reading. I

didn't retake it and am in no hurry to do so.
