English term or phrase: hypoxemia
Definition from Mayo Clinic:
Hypoxemia is a below-normal level of oxygen in your blood, specifically in the arteries. Hypoxemia is a sign of a problem related to breathing or circulation, and may result in various symptoms, such as shortness of breath.

Example sentence(s):
  • Corona-Hypoxemia Can Give Rise To Type-2 Myocardial Infection Medical Dialogues
  • The panel also found that CT is appropriate in patients with functional impairment and/or hypoxemia (low level of oxygen in the blood) after recovery from COVID-19. When there is known community transmission, evidence of COVID-19 has been incidentally found on CT scans. In these cases, patients should have COVID-19 testing using a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) viral assay. Science Daily
  • For one, some critically severe patients will still have severe hypoxemia on ventilation and will require ECMO, according to Ning Zhou, MD, PhD, who is currently working in the ICU ward of Tongji Hospital in Wuhan. MedPage Today

ipossiemia


Definition from Treccani:
Diminuzione della pressione parziale di ossigeno nel sangue, per aria ambientale scarsamente ossigenata o condizioni patologiche che ostacolano la normale diffusione dell’ossigeno dagli alveoli polmonari al sangue

Example sentence(s):
  • Ipossiemia significa ridotta quantità di ossigeno disponibile nel sangue. Spesso, ma non sempre, tale condizione si associa a ipossia, cioè a una ridotta quantità di ossigeno disponibile nei tessuti. - My personal trainer  
  • L’ipossiemia si verifica quando la pressione parziale dell’ossigeno nel sangue arterioso (PaO2) è inferiore a 55-60 mmHg e/o la saturazione in ossigeno dell’emoglobina (SpO2) è inferiore a 90%. Ricordiamo che la saturazione di ossigeno normalmente oscilla tra 97% e 99% nei soggetti sani, mentre può essere fisiologicamente più bassa negli anziani (intorno al 95%) e gravemente più bassa (pari o al di sotto del 90%) in soggetti con patologie polmonari e/o circolatorie. Se contemporaneamente la PCO2 è superiore a 45 mmHg, l’ipossiemia si verifica insieme all’ipercapnia cioè un anomalo aumento nel sangue della concentrazione di anidride carbonica (CO2). - medicina online  
  • L'insufficienza respiratoria acuta ipossiemica consiste in una grave ipossiemia arteriosa refrattaria alla terapia con O2 supplementare. È causata da uno shunt intrapolmonare di sangue derivante dal collasso degli spazi aerei. I segni clinici comprendono la dispnea e la tachipnea. La diagnosi si basa sull'emogasanalisi e sulla RX torace. Il trattamento generalmente richiede la ventilazione meccanica - MSD manuals
