Desat - what is it?

To lose oxygen as from not breathing. Desat is short for desaturate. Oxygen gets less and less and if oxygenation isn't restored either by the patient, CPR, or a ventilator, the patient will die. Desat is commonly used in the hospital when talking about a patient who's oxygen saturations are going down as seen on a pulse oximeter and/or arterial blood gas.

I can't breathe. I need oxygen or I will desat. All right. Let's get some oxygen going in by Non-rebreather at 90%
