Hypoxemia is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood. More specifically, it is oxygen deficiency in arterial blood. Hypoxemia has many causes, and...

It is a useful parameter for narrowing the differential diagnosis of hypoxemia. The A–a gradient helps to assess the integrity of the alveolar capillary...

hypoxemia leads to delay in all aspects of CNS maturation. With worsening fetal hypoxemia, there is decline in fetal activity. With further hypoxemia...
