Clinical Study on Hypoxemia in 31 Patients with Liver Cirrhosis

Huang Fang-ying

Abstract

To study the incidence of hypoxemia and its clinical significance in patients with post tepatitis liver cirrhosis, the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and oxyger saturation of anterial blood (SaO2) in 31 casee with post tepatitis liver cirrhsis (group A) were examined by antamatic blood gas analyzer. At the same time, 15 cases (group B) heaethy volunteers were studied as controls. The results showed that the typoxemia in patients with liver cirrhosis (group A) have 41% of accident. It loncluded the incidence of hypoxemia is high in patients with liver cirrhosis. Severity of hpoxemia is related with child-pugh grade. It will be improved the prognosis of cirrhosis.
