PressureMillimeters of Mercury (written as mm Hg) are a measure of pressure. Another standard measure of pressure is called an atmosphere (ATM). 1 mm Hg = 0.00131578947 ATMHere are the conversions between other standard measures of pressure:

1 ATM = 14.6959488 pounds per square inch (PSI)

1 ATM = 29.9246899 inches of mercury (in Hg)

1 ATM = 760 mm mercury (mm Hg)

1 ATM = 760 torr

1 ATM = 101 325 pascals

1 ATM = 1.01325 bar

The abbreviation mm stands for millimeter. It is a metric unit of measure equal to 0.1 centimeters, or 0.001 meters. To compare to something tangible, it's the diameter of a pinhead. Hg is the symbol for the element mercury, the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature.

it's not an acronym. it means millimetres of mercury and it's for measuring pressure typically of vacuum. 760 mm Hg = 1 atmosphere

Why is a drop of PaO2 from 90 mm Hg to 80 mm Hg less critical than from 50 mm Hg to 40 mm Hg?

Because a PaO2 level of 90 or 80 mm Hg is still a good level to be at, while both 50 and 40 mm Hg both indicate moderate hypoxemia. It's even more critical because at 50 mm Hg, the body is already lacking oxygen, if the level decreases further to 40 mm Hg it's even further stressed and is borderline severe hypoxemia.
