Questions and Answers

What is the definition of exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH)?

  • Condition when O2 carried in arterial blood is severely reduced (correct)
  • Condition when CO2 carried in arterial blood is severely reduced
  • Condition when CO2 carried in venous blood is severely reduced
  • Condition when O2 carried in venous blood is severely reduced

    • What happens to the A-a (alveolar to arterial) PO2 difference during incremental exercise?

  • It increases (correct)
  • It stays constant
  • It decreases
  • It fluctuates

    • What happens to the venous blood saturation as workload increases during incremental exercise?

  • It decreases and plateaus around 80% (correct)
  • It decreases and plateaus around 50%
