Summary Introduction
To review:
The factor in Fick’s law that confirms why the patient’s oxygenation status was chronically low in this case.”
Introduction:
In the given case, a patient with alveolar fibrosis and thickening was admitted to the hospital. It was observed that the patient was anxious and agitated. The X-ray of the chest of the patient showed increased alveolar density, which was caused by the lung fibrosis.
Please refer to Clinical Application Case-2 for further information.
