The article presents a case study of a 38-year-old woman with methemoglobinemia and hypoxemic respiratory failure, focusing on the discrepancy between pulse oximetry (SpO2) and arterial blood gas (SaO2) readings. Topics discussed include noninvasive oxygen measurement via pulse oximetry, the impact of methemoglobinemia on oxygen delivery, and the differential diagnosis for an "SpO2–SaO2 gap." |
