Hypoxemic respiratory failure is practically defined as a Pa o 2 < 60 mm Hg
重要定義(數字要記一下60)
An acute drop in Pa o 2 < 60 mm Hg (but > 54 mm Hg), ie, “mild hypoxemia,” may cause a range of symptoms:
Increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) (a.k.a. heart failure)
此外,Pao2 ( < 60 mm Hg ) 急劇下降的無症狀患者發生突然嚴重/危及生命的去飽和的風險增加(血紅蛋白-氧 [Hb-O2] 解離曲線的陡峭部分)
When patients in hypoxemic respiratory failure achieve a Pa o 2 > 60 mm Hg (without hyperventilation) no further increase in respiratory support aimed at improving oxygenation is required
當低氧性呼吸衰竭患者的 Pa o 2 > 60 mm Hg(無過度通氣)時,無需進一步增加旨在改善氧合的呼吸支持
A low O 2 saturation, occurring with a Pa o 2 > 60 mm Hg , indicates acidosis (causing Hb desaturation), not hypoxemic respiratory failure
