  • Summary

  • Hypoxia is a state of low oxygen levels in the blood.

    Determining hypoxia using a pulse oximeter or arterial blood gasses (ABGs).

    A goal of ACLS is to recognize signs of hypoxia and provide timely treatment to prevent an arrest.

    Examples of some things that might lead us to think of hypoxia as a cause of cardiac arrest.

    Why we should not rely on pulse ox to give accurate readings during CPR.

    Delivering ventilations with near 100% oxygen concentration using a BVM attached to supplemental O2 and a reservoir.

    Using end tidal waveform capnography to assess the quality of CPR.

    Changes to ventilation rates, tidal volume, and O2 concentration affects a patient's oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH.

    The danger of excessive ventilation of a patient in cardiac arrest.
