What Causes Low Oxygen Rate While Suffering From Pulmonary Embolism?
Question: would you have a low oxygen rate if you were having a pulmonary embolism?
Brief Answer:
In most cases it is normal after the acute phase
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concern
It depends on the case.
Usually after passing the acute phase of pulmonary embolism the oxygen is in normal ranges.
In central pulmonary embolism oxigen is low mostly in the acute phase too.
However every case is different and there is no rule which defines how it will be the oxygen but in most cases the oxygen is normal after a pulmonary embolism.
I hope this info is helpful for you
Take care and feel free to ask me again
