The PaCO2 test measures carbon dioxide levels in the blood to evaluate lung function. High CO2 levels can lead to respiratory acidosis, especially in people with COPD. The test requires drawing blood ...

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 ...

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 ...

Patients with COPD who travel to high altitudes have an estimated PaO2 decrease of 0.84 kPa with each 1000 meter of altitude gain. High-altitude travel in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

The following is a summary of “Prognostic value of PaO2/FiO2 ratio in predicting clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients,” published in the June 2024 issue of Critical Care by Canto-Costal et al.

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.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is globally the third leading cause of death, causing 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Most feasible way to measure oxygen saturation is by pulse oximetry ...

Abstract: The SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic had devastating effects on various aspects of life: clinical cases, ranging from mild to severe, can lead to lung failure and to death. Due to the high ...
