Targeting oxygenation to a low-normal range compared with a high-normal range does not result in a statistically significant reduction in organ dysfunction in critically ill patients suggests a study ...

Blood gas analysis gives us information about a patient's acid-base status and pulmonary function. • Blood gas analysis gives us information about a patient's acid-base status and pulmonary function.

Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) is an essential skill for medical professionals, especially in assessing a patient’s respiratory health. This article will provide a ...

Background: Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We ...

A PaO2 test measures oxygen pressure in arterial blood to help guide treatment for respiratory issues. This test is part of an arterial blood gas (ABG) test, which also measures other components like ...

Objectives COVID-19 causes lung parenchymal and endothelial damage that lead to hypoxic acute respiratory failure (hARF). The influence of hARF severity on patients’ outcomes is still poorly ...
