This video was created by a member of the CHEST community.

This video describes respiratory physiological changes during pregnancy. These physiological changes are important for pulmonologists and critical care physicians, as they directly impact the management of pregnant patients. Changes in oxygenation and ventilation have implications for taking care of critically ill pregnant patients, especially if they require mechanical ventilation.
