Thanks for watching - See short videos on the other 4 causes of hypoxemia free: www.medcram.com/courses/hypoxemia-explained-clearly

5 causes of hypoxemia:
1. High altitude
2. Diffusion
3. Hyperventilation
4. Shunting
5. V/Q mismatch

Hypoventilation

Hi MedCram, great explanation of hypoxaemia. I will show my respiratory physician trainees. This also gives me ideas for videos I will create for my YT channel including the difference between hypoxaemia and breathlessness which do not always go together!

[@Spencermama4]

My preemie had Hypoxemia at birth i never asked. Is that possibly from lungs not being developed?

[@CatWoman6]

Thankyou. I have a home at 1000m above sea level and it effects my mental health significantly. Can't wait to move.

[@rolfesibal1291]

Any respiratory therapist right here like me?

[@poojithavlogs1001]

I love u lectures

[@p.thomas7843]

This lecture is good but there is no diffusion across alveoli whatsoever instead the pulmonary surfactants act as ultra microscopic valves and they are the enablers of direct gas exchange

[@p.thomas7843]

Good explanation of low O2 on high altitude. it's all about pressures and partial pressures

[@yavorayoub]

great

[@IchieKirkie]

Thank you for putting out great information. Could you maybe explain mid altitude like 5000 and long term health, or at 5000 and pregnancy when the mother is not native to the altitude but lover elevation like 0 -1000?

How does the corona virus cause hypoxemia?

[@petersydney6303]

Check out Dr Berg for his explanation . Well worth a look and suggests respirators are not being used correctly.

Some theories say that millimetre waves may also cause it.
