Regulation is believed to rely on a feedback mechanism measuring blood oxygenation.
Treatment aims to prevent respiratory failure and to ensure adequate blood oxygenation.
Artificial erythropoietin injections for increased blood oxygenation.
Central cyanosis is often due to a circulatory or ventilatory problem that leads to poor blood oxygenation in the lungs.
By strictly controlling the rest periods between reps and sets a trainer can reduce their level of blood oxygenation, which helps to increase the stress on the muscles.
Flail chest is invariably accompanied by pulmonary contusion, a bruise of the lung tissue that can interfere with blood oxygenation.
This allows much better ventilation, with improved tidal volume, and increased blood oxygenation.
Using the fMRI, researchers examined the areas of blood oxygenation in the occipital lobe as the subject viewed various color-specific stimuli.
The apneas (pauses in breathing) must last for at least 10 seconds and are associated with a decrease in blood oxygenation.
A drop in blood oxygenation is known as hypoxemia; a rise in arterial carbon dioxide levels is called hypercapnia.
