Research Paper On Hypoxemia
When I was a child I had issues with not breathing correctly when I run so I when I would race someone I would run so fast without breathing correctly I would feel like I was having an asthma attack but as I grew older I corrected my breathing. There are many issues with the respiratory system that can be easily correct as changing the breathing patters of a runner. Hypoxemia is a condition that is caused by any minor respiratory conditions that makes it hard for the lungs to absorb oxygen. For the short term hypoxemia can cause some adverse side effects that without treatment can become hypoxia which will cause other adverse issues to the body and will need medical attention.
The conditions that cause hypoxemia can vary with age and infection, …show more content…
Patients will have a higher level of anxiety, headaches, and restlessness that are brought on by other symptoms of like apnea and elevated heartbeat("Hypoxemia: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment," n.d.). The patient will learn that while he or she is in under conditions that their bodies are not getting the valuable oxygen that is required for them to live and may lead to much more severe problems. Many the normal mechanics of the respiratory system is not working correctly, for example; in the case of ventilation-perfusion mismatch when the alveolar does not conduct oxygen and carbon exchange properly causing the rest of the body to get a poor amount of oxygen("What Causes Hypoxemia?," n.d.). This will cause a patient to condition to change from hypoxemia to a hypoxia state. This is a state where if the patient is left untreated will lead to lethargic, brain issues, and or death.
In other words, a patient that notices the symptoms should seek medical treatment. Treatment includes mechanical ventilation, supplemental oxygen therapy, transfusion of packed red blood cells, and increase inspired oxygen. Types of treatment depend on what is causeing a patient to be hypoxemic.
A patient that has the symptoms signs of hypoxemia, medical attention is highly recommended. There are many ways to become hypoxemic and it is best to identify
