Oxygen Insufficiency :-
Introduction of O2 Insufficiency 
Oxygen insufficiency refers to a condition where there is an
inadequate supply of oxygen to the body's tissues and organs.
This can occur for various reasons, such as respiratory problems
(like lung diseases or breathing difficulties), heart conditions, high
altitude, anaemia, or certain medical emergencies.
When the body doesn't receive enough oxygen, it can lead to
symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion, rapid
heart rate, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and, if
necessary, providing supplemental oxygen therapy.
Contd
All life on earth is based on 5 basic elements: Sulfur, nitrogen,
hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.
Amongst these, the element that is most abundant is oxygen.
Oxygen makes up about 65% of the human body.
Odourless, tasteless, and colourless, oxygen is one of the most
important substances without which life would not be able to
exist.
For example, we can go without food for a number of weeks
and survive, we can even go without water for 3-7 days, but we
cannot survive without oxygen beyond 5 minutes.
Meaning & Physiology of Oxygenation
 Meaning of Oxygenation  Oxygenation means the delivery of oxygen
to the body tissue and cells. It is necessary to maintain health.
Physiology of Oxygenation
Oxygenation results from the co-operative
function of 3 major systems:-
Respiratory/Pulmonary system 
Haematological system 
Cardiovascular system
Lung Volumes and Capacities 
 Tidal Volume  500 ml
 Inspiratory Reserve Volume 
3000 ml
 Expiratory Reserve Volume 
1000 ml
 Residual Volume  1500 ml
 Inspiratory Capacity  3500 ml
 Functional Residual Capacity 
2200 ml
 Vital Capacity - 4500 ml
 Total Lung Capacity  (5700 -
6000 ml)
There are three steps in the process of
oxygenation 
1) Ventilation,
2) Perfusion
3) Diffusion
Pathway of Air  Nasal Cavities (or Oral Cavity) > Pharynx
>Trachea >Primary bronchi (right & left) > Secondary
bronchi > tertiary bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli (site of gas
exchange).
Terminology Related to Ventilation & How
its Possible 
Pulmonary Ventilation  It means movement of air into and out
of lungs. Its main purpose is to supply fresh air.
Ventilation is composed of 
- Inspiration - when air flows into the lungs.
- Expiration - when air moves out of lungs.
Adequate ventilation depends upon 
- Clear airways
- An intact central nervous system and respiratory center
- An intact thoracic cavity capable of expanding and contracting.
Regulation of Respiration 
Neural Regulation  It maintains rhythm and depth of
respiration and balance between inspiration and expiration.
A) Cerebral cortex
B) Medulla oblongata
Chemical Regulation  It maintains appropriate rate and
depth of respirations based on changes in the body's carbon
dioxide, oxygen and hydrogen ion concentration
A) Chemoreceptors

Factors Affecting Oxygenation 
Physiological Factor 
Anaemia
Toxic
inhalant
Airway obstruction
High altitude
Fever
Decreased chest wall motion
Developmental Factor 
o Fetus
o Neonates and infants
o Toddler, preschool-aged children and accidents
o Older adults
Behavioural Factors 
o Lifestyle
o Medication
Environmental Factors  The incidence of pulmonary disease is higher in
smoggy, urban areas than in rural areas. In addition, the client's
workplace may increase the risk for pulmonary disease. Occupational
pollutants include asbestos, talcum powder and silica dust, coal dust.
Sign and symptom of inadequate
oxygenation 
 Anxious and tired
 Headache, dizziness, irritability and memory loss.
 Nausea, vomiting and cyanosis
 Oliguria and anuria
 Fatigue lethargic
 RBC count increases,
 Clubbing of fingers
 Sometime patient may have pain while breathing
Etiological factors 
Decreased haemoglobin & oxygen carrying capacity of blood.
Diminished concentration of inspired oxygen which may occur at
high attitude.
Inability of the tissue to extract oxygen forms the blood in case of
cyanide poisoning.
Decreased diffusion of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood as with
in pneumonia.
Poor tissue perfusion with oxygenated blood as with shock.
Impaired ventilation as with multiple rib fracture or chest traumas.
Disease / abnormalities Which Cause Oxygen
Insufficiency 
Musculoskeletal Abnormalities  Rib cage Deformity, Rib &
sternal fracture or trauma of thoracic region. Some times
kyphosis, lordosis or scolliosis and Pectus excavatum etc.
 Trauma  The person with multiple rib fracture can develop a
flail chest.
Neuromuscular Diseases  Disease such as muscular dystrophy
affects oxygenation of tissue by decreasing the clients ability to
expand and contract the chest wall. Ventilation is impaired an
atelectasis, hypercapnia and hypoxemia can occur.
CONTD
 Central Nervous System Alterations  Disease or trauma involving
the medulla oblongata and spinal cord may result in impaired
respiration.
 Myocardial Ischemia
 Angina pectoris
 Myocardial infraction (MI)
 Hypoventilation
 Hypoxia
 Cyanosis
 Cerebral Palsy
 Syncope
Diagnosis & Evaluation of the Patient That Who
Is Having Oxygen Insufficiency 
 History Collection 
 focus on the clients ability to meet oxygen needs.
 Nursing history for cardiac function includes pain, dyspnoea, fatigue,
peripheral circulation, cardiac risk factors, and presence of past or
current conditions.
 Nursing history for respiratory function includes the presence of a
cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, pain environmental exposure,
frequently of respiratory tract infections, past respiratory problem,
current medications use and smoking history or second hand smoke
exposure.

Conclusion
Oxygen is very essential component for living things so as a nurse
it is fundamental to assess the level of oxygen in body, and if it is
less than necessary action should be taken. Oxygen insufficiency
can lead serious illness like lung diseases or breathing difficulties,
heart conditions, or certain medical emergencies. When the body
doesn't receive enough oxygen, it can lead to symptoms like
shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion, rapid heart rate, and in
severe cases, it can be life-threatening. Treatment typically
