Several conditions can impair oxygenation, including:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A group of lung diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. Pneumonia: An infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, leading to fluid accumulation and impaired gas exchange. Asthma: A condition in which the airways become inflamed and narrowed, causing difficulty in breathing. Pulmonary Edema: A condition characterized by excess fluid in the lungs, often resulting from heart failure. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): A severe condition that occurs when fluid builds up in the alveoli, preventing adequate oxygen from reaching the bloodstream.
