What is hypoxemia?
Hypoxemia is a condition in which there is a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in blood. It may be caused by alveolar hypoventilation, impaired diffusion of oxygen across the blood-gas membrane and from taking in oxygen with a low partial pressure as in high altitude environments.
