ABG (Arterial Blood Gases) is a measurement of oxygen saturation in the arterial blood which supplies oxygenated blood to the body tissue and the extraction of oxygen from the hemoglobin at the capillary level. The amount of oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin (HbO2) depends on hemoglobin concentration and the arterial pressure often referred to as Hemoglobin / O2 dissociation curve. At lower body temperature, less oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin, while at higher temperature slightly more oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin. It is therefore important to know the body temperature when the ABG analysis is done so as to have a more meaningful interpretation of the result.

No, it is not necessary to stir the water before taking the temperature. Just make sure the thermometer is placed in the water and give it a few seconds to accurately measure the temperature.
It is important to drink water before taking your temperature as it can help provide a more accurate reading.
It is recommended to wait at least 5 minutes after drinking water before taking your temperature to get an accurate reading.
It is recommended to wait at least 20-30 minutes after drinking water before taking your temperature to get an accurate reading.
It is recommended to wait at least 15 minutes before taking an oral temperature after drinking hot water.
It is recommended to wait at least 20-30 minutes after drinking water before taking your temperature to get an accurate reading.
It is recommended to wait at least 15-30 minutes after drinking water before taking your temperature to get an accurate reading.
Shake down the thermometer before using, if the reading on the thermometer is 94.0º F or above.
It is recommended to wait at least 15-30 minutes after drinking water before taking a temperature to ensure an accurate reading.
Taking your temperature as fever can be sign of infection. **Blood analysis to screen for imbalances **Hepatic screening: Liver function test
It is recommended to wait at least 20 minutes after drinking hot or cold beverages before taking your temperature to get an accurate reading.
