low oxygen level in the blood. Hypoxemia can manifest as either a low oxygen pressure (PO2) or a low oxygen saturation; see PO2.
Diminished amount (reduced saturation) of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than 200 mm Hg); hypoxic hypoxemia–interference with pulmonary oxygenation; stagnant hypoxia–a reduction in blood flow, as seen in the finger nails in surgical shock or in cold weather.
Abnormally low blood oxygen levels
Inadequate (low) oxygen level in the blood.
An abnormal decrease of oxygen in arterial blood.
Low levels of oxygen in the blood.
Subnormal oxygenation of arterial blood, short of anoxia.
Not enough oxygen in the blood.
Decreased oxygen content in arterial blood
abnormal lack of oxygen in the blood in the arteries.
Hypoxemia is reduced oxygen in the circulating blood.
Lack of an adequate amount of oxygen in the blood.
below normal level of oxygen in the blood stream.
A reduced level of oxygen in the blood
Low oxygen levels in the Blood.
Reduction of oxygen level in the blood below normal.
Hypoxemia is the insufficient oxygenation of the blood .
An abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood. When a patient's arterial blood sample is measured and a low level of oxygen is noted it is more appropriate to refer to hypoxemia rather than hypoxia. Determination of hypoxia involves a much more sophisticated evaluation of the patient. [Click Here To Return To List
