Table 2.
Arterial blood gas and haemoglobin analyses of 43 patients with PAVMs before and after embolization
| PaO2 (mmHg) | PaCO2 (mmHg) | SaO2 (%) | Hb (g/L) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preoperation | 73.32 ± 10.70 | 38.21 ± 4.74 | 89.29 ± 3.97 | 13.68 ± 1.36 |
| Postoperation | 87.71 ± 5.66a | 38.28 ± 3.85 | 96.04 ± 1.86a | 13.13 ± 1.21 |
Hb, haemoglobin; PaCO2, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; PaO2, arterial partial pressure of oxygen; SaO2, arterial oxygen saturation
aPaired t-test showed significant differences between the pre-operation and post-operation values (p < 0.01); 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa
