Because pregnant patients are more prone to hypoxia, oxygenation and airway management should be prioritized during resuscitation from cardiac arrest in pregnancy.
Well, similar to muscle and other tissue, at night this extra blood increases oxygenation, serving as a system of repair and helping to maintain functionality.
There are many affordable pedometers which can be worn like a watch and used to track your steps, heart rate, sleeping patterns and even your blood oxygenation levels.
And since oxygenation and blood flow in the brain have been linked to neural activity, this measure might give the researchers a peek at how the brain is responding to different conditions.
But another study from 2015 found significant increases in blood oxygenation in both the left and the right prefrontal cortex when 18 participants viewed a real plant as opposed to a projected image of it.
Blood that enters the pulmonary artery is carried to the lungs. There it undergoes oxygenation, a process in which carbon dioxide (a waste product of cellular metabolism) is exchanged for oxygen from the environment.
