AB Arterial  puncture  for  blood  gas  analysis  is  a  common  procedure  performed  in  the  emergency  department  (ED).Blood  obtained  from  the  radial  artery  can  be  used  to  quickly  provide  quantitative  information  on  the  patient's  acid–base  status  and  carboxyhemoglobin,  methemoglobin,  and  electrolyte  levels.Arterial  puncture  is  a  useful  way  to  obtain  blood  for  analysis  when  traditional  phlebotomy  is  limited  or  difficult  on  the  basis  of  patient  characteristics.
