Abstract
In the previous chapters, we covered the important aspects of acid-base disorders. In the final chapter, we will discuss the major causes of hypoxia, namely, ventilation/perfusion mismatch, blood shunt, hypoventilation, and diffusion impairment. We will also highlight the important points on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve and their clinical implications.
