    1. Cyanosis
    2. Tachycardia
    3. Tachypnea
    4. Mental status changes
      1. Acute: Altered Level of Consciousness
      2. Chronic: Fatigue, drowsy, inattentive
    5. Oxygen Saturation (O2 Sat) decreased
      1. Usually correlates with PaO2
        1. However, relationship is not linear (See O2 Sat)
        2. Not sensitive for increased A-a Gradient
      2. Conditions where O2 Sat low despite normal PaO2
        1. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
        2. Methemoglobinemia or other abnormal Hemoglobin
  5. Evaluation and Management
