Hypoxemia

Low oxygen levels in the blood, better known as hypoxemia, can lead to brain damage and even death in a matter of minutes.

By Feb. 15, they say, he suffered extreme hypoxemia, which is low oxygen levels in the blood, and acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is sudden failure of the respiratory system when fluid builds up in the lungs. ❋ Unknown (2010)

A little more care must be taken to be sure the fetus doesn’t suffer hypotension or hypoxemia, which is lack of oxygen in the blood. ❋ V.C. Andrews (2001)

There were fewer days on ventilator support in one trial and fewer deaths from progressive hypoxemia in another. ❋ James Gaulte (2008)

I also worried that she might have suffered damage to her internal organs as a result of hypoxemia, a period of low blood oxygen that can harm the kidneys and the brain. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The risk of lactic acidosis while on GLUMETZA therapy may be significantly decreased by initial and regular monitoring of renal and liver function; using the minimum effective dose; withholding in the presence of any condition associated with hypoxemia, dehydration, or sepsis; avoidance in patients with hepatic disease; cautioning patients against excessive alcohol intake; temporarily discontinuing prior to any intravascular radiocontrast study or surgical procedure. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The device will detect early signs of hypoxemia, or low blood oxygen levels. ❋ MARK HUME AND PAUL KORING (2011)

Consider the diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia if patients develop progressive dyspnea and hypoxemia. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Withhold KOMBIGLYZE XR saxagliptin and metformin HCl extended-release in the presence of any condition associated with hypoxemia, dehydration, or sepsis. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Patients with congestive heart failure requiring pharmacologic management, in particular those with unstable or acute congestive heart failure who are at risk of hypoperfusion and hypoxemia, are at increased risk of lactic acidosis. ❋ Unknown (2011)

On hospital day 16, because of refractory hypoxemia and severe ARDS, the woman was transferred to another hospital ICU for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and oseltamivir was increased to 150 mg, twice daily. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Symptoms of the severe stage include oliguria (decreased urine output), hypoxemia (low partial pressure of oxygen in the blood), low platelet count, trouble breathing, areas of mottled skin or a sudden change in mental state or condition. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Hyperventilation: the hypocapnia causes a hypoxemia. vasoconstriction and quickly lowers the blood flow in 4% each C. Hemodynamic stabilization: the blood pressure 1mmHg below normal. ❋ Nordondg (2010)

These patients must be treated to avoid or interhemispheric fissure may restrict the increased ICP to only reduce secondary lesion, due to hypoxemia, hypercapnia, one side of the brain, at least, in the beginning; sometimes, the hypocapnia, etc. ❋ Nordondg (2010)

The patient is usually ill-appearing, and present with hypoxemia, cyanosis, tachycardia, and shallow rapid breathing. ❋ Jaguar (2010)
