Teaching goals

• Hypercapnia associated with respiratory depressant drugs is extremely common in anesthetized patients.
• Treatment of hypercapnia/hypocapnia depends on the underlying cause; however, hypercapniais frequently.
• Oxygenation can be assessed non-invasively (pulse oximetry) or invasively (arterial blood gas), each with their own advantages/disadvantages.
• Mechanisms underlying hypoxemia include: hypoventilation, ventilation-perfusion inequalities, pulmonary or cardiac shunting of blood, impairments to gas diffusion, decreased inspired oxygen levels.
