If a patient's SaO2 levels are low, several interventions can be employed to improve oxygenation:
Supplemental Oxygen: Administering oxygen through a mask, nasal cannula, or other devices. Positioning: Elevating the head of the bed or using the prone position can improve lung expansion and oxygenation. Respiratory Therapy: Techniques such as incentive spirometry, chest physiotherapy, and nebulizer treatments. Ventilatory Support: In severe cases, mechanical ventilation may be necessary.
