- Hypoxia is a condition where either all (generalized hypoxia) or a specific part of the body (regional hypoxemia) does not receive or is not able to use adequate oxygen for aerobic metabolism.
- Hypoxemia is a reduction in the concentration of oxygen in arterial blood.
- A PaO2 of <80 mmHg is strictly classed as hypoxaemia, but some classify mild hypoxaemia as PaO2 80–90 mmHg; moderate as 60–80 mmHg; and severe as <60 mmHg.
Dr. Florent DUPLANVideo time : 24 min + MCQDipl. ECVIM-CAGeneral internal medicine Hematology biochemistry
Teaching goals
- Understand magnesium homeostasis

Dr. Robert TRUJANOVICVideo time : 18 min + MCQDipl. ECVAARespiratory Anesthesiology and analgesia Hematology biochemistryTeaching goals
- Arterial blood gas analysis helps determine: blood pH, blood oxygenation, and blood CO2 carriage
- Venous blood gas analysis can also tell about acid-base status.
- Regulation of pH is required because most biochemical (metabolic) reactions can only occur efficiently within a narrow pH range.
