Feedback:
The best indicator of oxygen deficiency is the level of arterial blood gases (ABGs). The partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) value is generally considered normal when it is between 80 and 100 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury). A chest x-ray is ordered to determine lung or heart abnormalities. The computed tomography (CT) scan is a series of x-ray films taken to provide a cross-sectional view of the chest or other body part. Pulmonary angiography involves injection of radiopaque dye into the pulmonary blood vessels to determine pathology.
