title: Advances in the treatment of oxygenation disturbances.
abstract: The treatment of oxygen transport parameters centers on improving any aspect of oxygen delivery that is threatened. The most important improvements center on improving cardiac output and oxygen carrying capacity, primarily through improving hemoglobin levels, and to a smaller extent, PaO2/SaO2 values. This article reviewed the highlights for improving the key components of oxygen transport while providing examples to aid clinical application.
