Hypoxemia - A Practical Diagnostic Approach

The 5 pathophysiologic mechanisms (VQ mismatch, shunting, impaired diffusion, low FiO2, and hypoventilation) to hypoxemia is not a practical approach to a patient with hypoxemia.
In this video, we discussed a practical approach that can be used at the bedside which incorporates the lung exam and response to oxygen therapy.

I thought Gurpreet was the MJ. I think Reza/Rabih are Shaq/Kobe.

Why is oxygen therapy helpful in PE? If the blood can't reach the alveoli to receive the air, why does giving a higher % O2 helpful? Is it just that the alveoli that are still perfused receive more, and that compensates for the ones that have V/Q mismatch? Thanks for all you do!

I love your questions (here and on patreon). They really are brilliant. And I think your answer makes a lot of sense, Joey. Thank you!!!!
