Abstract
Oxygen is an essential element for human survival, as it is the primary “fuel” for cells in our body. Thus, maintaining a safe level of oxygen in the blood-stream is crucial. Medical professionals refer to the lack of oxygen in the blood as hypoxemia. Severe episodes of hypoxemia can arise from cardiac arrest, suffocation, or drowning and can cause loss of consciousness, rapid organ failure, and death [1]. The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19 and has become a serious global health issue. More than 676 million people have been infected and over six million deaths worldwide were due to COVID-19-related complications [2].
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
