However,older adultsusually have slightly lower oxygen saturation levels than younger adults and children. People over 70 years of age may have oxygen levels closer to 95%, which can be normal for that age group, while normal SpO2 rates for infants and children are usually 97% and higher. Lo...
What causes high altitude pulmonary edema? How is pulmonary edema treated? What is a bilateral pulmonary embolism? What is mild pulmonary hypertension? How does furosemide relieve pulmonary edema? What drugs cause pulmonary edema? How does DKA cause pulmonary edema?
It will be high when saturation (%) is low. High levels of TIBC indicate a low amount of iron “filling seats” on the bus we discussed. It's one way to tell if the protein's levels are elevated due to inflammation. What causes high RBC? High red blood cells are linked to ...
What is the main method of oxygen transport in the blood? How does carbon monoxide affect red blood cells (RBCs)? a. It causes them to shrivel. b. The hemoglobin within the RBC bind to carbon monoxide. c. The hemoglobin rejects carbon mono...
What is respiratory alkalosis and what causes it? When the blood contains a high percentage of CO2 and a very low percentage of O2, the breathing stops and the person becomes unconscious. What is this condition called? What conditions would increase the rate of oxygen diffusing from the alveola...

Obstructive sleep apneaoccurs when the breathing passage narrows or becomes obstructed due to a relaxing of the throat muscles, blocking the airflow to the lungs. This airway disturbance causes lower oxygen saturation levels and leads to fragmented sleep that isnonrestorative. OSA is themost common...
Recent studies suggest that viruses are one of the major causes of childhood pneumonia. Among viruses, respiratory syncytial virus has got great attention and several recent studies are reporting it as an important organism for pneumonia. Lack of exclusive breast feeding during first six months, ...

Smoking reduces oxygen saturation levels. When the saturation level drops active oxygen accumulates in our body which oxidizes our skin. As the barrier function deteriorates, the moisture retention capacity decreases and dryness progresses. On the other hand, alcohol dehydrates, so it tends to strip...
