| During a relapse, respiratory muscle weakness can precipitate hypoxemia and hypercapnia of rapid onset. |
| None of the animals developed hypoxemia, hemoptysis, bronchospasm, or respiratory distress either during or after treatment. |
| Acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome are clinical syndromes that are characterized by extreme hypoxemia and high mortality. |
| Indications for postoperative mechanical ventilation are respiratory acidosis, severe hypoxemia, atelectasis, and pneumonia. |
| Correcting a functional abnormality, such as hypoxemia with oxygen therapy, can preserve life while the lung undergoes healing. |
| Adverse outcomes during sedation usually have hypoxemia as a common pathway after hypoventilation or apnea leading to brain injury or death. |
