Unmasking hypoxemia: the role of standard PaO₂ in interpreting Arterial blood gas analysis
The introduction of stPaO2 significantly enhanced physicians' ability to interpret ABG results in ARF. Although its calculation assumes ideal physiological conditions, stPaO2 remains a useful tool for unmasking hypoxemia in hyperventilating patients. Including stPaO2 in ABG reports may support more accurate clinical decision-making, particularly in emergency and critical care settings.
