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 ...

The British Thoracic Society (BTS) Home Oxygen Guideline provides detailed evidence-based guidance for the use of home oxygen for patients out of hospital. Although the majority of evidence comes from ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel mathematical model that quantitatively defines the relationships between the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and ...

Mouth breathing can cause low oxygen levels in some people using supplemental oxygen therapy. Using a face mask instead of a nasal cannula may help get more oxygen if you breathe through your mouth.

At 1 year after participants’ ICU stay for acute respiratory failure, mean DLCO was about 5% lower in those who had an ICU oxygenation target of 60 vs 90 mm Hg. Cognitive impairment levels among ...

Sodium, Whole Blood 134 to 143 mmol/L Less than or equal to 120 or greater than or equal to 160 mmol/L Potassium, Whole Blood 3.4 to 5.0 mmol/L Less than or equal to 2.5 or greater than or equal to ...

The following is a summary of “Clinical Performance of Spo 2 /Fio 2 and Pao 2 /Fio 2 Ratio in Mechanically Ventilated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study,” published in ...

Blood oxygen levels refer to the amount of oxygen circulating in the blood. Normal blood oxygen levels fall between 75 and 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) on arterial blood gas (ABG) test results.
