Translation for 'hypoxemia' from English to Portuguese

hypoxemia [Am.]

hipoxemia {f}med.

• PPHN can range from mild to severe disease. In the most severe form, infants experience severe hypoxemia resulting in cardiac and pulmonary complications.
• Arterial blood gases may reveal signs of hypoxemia when tested in a lab. Respiratory alkalosis may also be present. Peripheral lymphocytosis can be observed. A lung biopsy may also be indicated.
• Applying this analogy to different causes of hypoxemia should help reason out whether to expect an elevated or normal A-a gradient.
• Hypoxia differs from hypoxemia and anoxemia, in that hypoxia refers to a state in which oxygen present in a tissue or the whole body is insufficient, whereas hypoxemia and anoxemia refer specifically to states that have low or no oxygen in the blood.
• In medicine, hepatopulmonary syndrome is a syndrome of shortness of breath and hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood of the arteries) caused by vasodilation (broadening of the blood vessels) in the lungs of patients with liver disease.

• Decrease in overall thyroid function is correlated with fetal hypoxemia.
• In modern times there are a lot of tools to detects hypoxemia including smartwatches. In 2022 a research has shown smartwatches can detect short-time hypoxemia as well as standard medical devices.
• For example, the hypoxemia (decreased blood oxygen level) can result in hypoxia which will affect the heart and brain more severely if left untreated.
• When breathing the ambient air at high altitudes (above 3048 metres/10,000 feet), the human body experiences altitude sickness and hypoxemia due to a low partial pressure of oxygen, decreasing the carriage of oxygen by hemoglobin.
• Acute hypoxemia was due to bronchoconstriction and pulmonary edema.

• The early reports of obstructive sleep apnea in the medical literature described individuals who were very severely affected, often presenting with severe hypoxemia, hypercapnia and congestive heart failure.
• The patient is usually ill-appearing and presents with hypoxemia coupled with shallow rapid breathing.
• Pulmonary aspiration of particulate matter may result in acute airway obstruction which may rapidly lead to death from arterial hypoxemia.
