What is refractory hypoxemia?
Refractory hypoxemia is a severe form of low oxygen levels in the blood that does not respond well to standard oxygen therapy. It can be challenging to manage and may require advanced interventions such as mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to improve oxygenation.
What is done for intrapulmonary shunting?
Intrapulmonary shunting occurs when blood bypasses alveoli, leading to inadequate oxygenation. Management typically involves treating the underlying cause, such as addressing pneumonia, pulmonary edema, or atelectasis. Supportive measures may include supplemental oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation to improve gas exchange. In severe cases, advanced interventions like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be considered.

How do you remove carbon dioxide from blood?
Normally, the patient would get rid of CO2 by the act of expiration.If this is not the case, it may be necessary to intubate them and control their breathing for them. It may be that their breathing pattern was erratic, shallow or not good enough for gas exchange to take place.
