Your pO2 is within the normal range, indicating your lungs are effectively transferring oxygen from the air into your bloodstream.
A critically low pO2 indicates noticeable hypoxemia — your blood is carrying very little oxygen to your organs and tissues. This can cause confusion, chest pain, unconsciousness, and cellular damage. Immediate oxygen therapy is required.
This is a medical emergency. Administer high-flow oxygen immediately and treat the underlying cause (pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, ARDS, etc.). ICU admission is likely.
pO2: {{value}} {{unit}} — critically low (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Low pO2 means your blood is not carrying enough oxygen. Causes include lung disease (COPD, pneumonia, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis), heart disease with shunting, pulmonary embolism, or anemia (less oxygen-carrying capacity).
See your doctor promptly. Oxygen therapy and treatment of the underlying lung or heart condition are typically needed. Pulse oximetry monitoring is recommended.
pO2: {{value}} {{unit}} — below reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A borderline low pO2 may be seen in mild lung disease, at altitude, during exercise, or in early stages of pneumonia. It can also be normal in some individuals, particularly with increasing age.
Discuss with your doctor. If you have lung disease symptoms (cough, shortness of breath), further evaluation may be warranted.
pO2: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowYour pO2 is within the normal range, indicating your lungs are effectively transferring oxygen from the air into your bloodstream.
No action needed.
pO2: {{value}} {{unit}} — within reference rangeYour pO2 sits in the healthy range, reflecting excellent lung function and efficient oxygen exchange.
No action needed.
pO2: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalA borderline high pO2 is most commonly from receiving supplemental oxygen. In someone breathing room air, it is rarely significant.
If on supplemental oxygen, discuss appropriate target range with your doctor.
pO2: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highElevated pO2 above normal is almost always due to supplemental oxygen therapy. While generally not dangerous, very high pO2 for prolonged periods can cause oxygen toxicity in the lungs.
If on oxygen therapy, discuss with your doctor whether the oxygen flow rate can be reduced to target normal levels.
pO2: {{value}} {{unit}} — above reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A very high pO2 is caused by excessive supplemental oxygen. Prolonged hyperoxia can cause lung injury and absorption atelectasis.
Reduce oxygen supplementation to target a normal pO2. Discuss target oxygen levels with your healthcare team.
