Diagnostic errors affect patient management, and as blood gas analysis is mainly performed without the laboratory, users must be aware of the potential pitfalls. The aim was to provide a summary of common issues users should be aware of.A narrative review was performed using online databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and reference lists of identified papers.

Sex steroid hormones play an important role in fetal development, brain functioning and neuronal protection. Growing evidence highlights the positive effects of these hormones against brain damage induced by neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI). This systematic review with meta-analysis aims to verify the efficacy of sex steroid hormones in preventing HI-induced brain damage in rodent models.

Hypoxaemia in COVID-19 does not necessarily imply COVID pneumonia or post-COVID lung fibrosis, and the caveats of finger pulse oximetry should be remembered. Drug-induced methaemoglobinemia should be considered in individuals with unexplained cyanosis, refractory hypoxaemia, or the presence of a saturation gap. Here, we share our recent encounter of 'spurious hypoxia' in a patient with COVID-19 and methaemoglobinemia.

Abnormally low pO2 and oxygen saturations on arterial blood gases (ABGs) test have been reported in the patients who have very high WBC and platelet counts; generally in the setting of hematological malignancies. This is presumably related to the consumption of oxygen by the active cellular elements in the arterial blood sample during the process of ABG analysis. This phenomenon which is also known as "spurious hypoxemia" or "oxygen steal" or "leukocyte/platelet larceny" is suspected when there is no other obvious explanation for hypoxemia on ABG, especially in the setting of normal oxygen saturations by the pulse oximetry.

Unlabelled: Infection with SARS-CoV-2 causes critical disease in approximately 5% of affected patients, particularly the elderly, hypertensive, obese and immunocompromised. Patients with haematological cancer, including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), are particularly at risk of complications. Very rarely, patients with extreme leukocytosis may develop spurious hypoxemia, or pseudohypoxemia, which confuses the diagnosis of complications and can lead to intervention errors.
