Treatment for hypoxemia in pediatric patients depends on the underlying cause. Common interventions include:
- Supplemental oxygen therapy via nasal cannulas, masks, or oxygen tents - [Mechanical ventilation]() in severe cases - Medications to treat underlying conditions, such as bronchodilators for asthma or antibiotics for infections - Surgery or other interventions for structural abnormalities, like congenital heart defects
Early and appropriate treatment is crucial to prevent complications associated with prolonged hypoxemia.
